                                        - 12 -                                        
               Accordingly, we grant respondent’s motion to dismiss this              
          case for lack of prosecution, and we shall enter a decision                 
          sustaining respondent’s determination of the deficiencies and               
          additions to tax as set forth in the notice of deficiency.                  


                                                       An appropriate order           
                                                  of dismissal and decision           
                                                  will be entered.                    


















               3(...continued)                                                        
          with respect to any factual issue and has failed to cooperate               
          with respondent’s requests for information, documents, meetings,            
          and interviews, the burden of proof does not shift to respondent.           
          See sec. 7491(a).  In addition, respondent has no obligation                
          under sec. 7491(c) to produce evidence that the sec. 6651(a)(1)             
          additions to tax are appropriate because petitioner is deemed to            
          have conceded the additions to tax by failure to assign error to            
          the additions to tax in the petition.  See Funk v. Commissioner,            
          123 T.C. 213 (2004); Swain v. Commissioner, 118 T.C. 358, 363-364           
          (2002).
