On January 25, 2005, a motion for reconsideration from
petitioner was filed by leave of Court. Respondent was ordered
to file any response on or before February 25, 2005.
Respondent and petitioner then filed status reports on
January 28 and February 7, 2005, respectively. The reports
indicated that Appeals Officer Joan R. Carter had contacted
petitioner by telephone on October 26, 2004, in an attempt to
schedule a hearing in compliance with the Court’s September 16,
2004, order. Petitioner had communicated that he hoped to engage
an attorney to appeal the Court’s ruling and to represent him at
the hearing. A followup letter sent by Ms. Carter on
November 12, 2004, stated that petitioner had assured Ms. Carter
that a representative would contact her on November 3, 2004, but
that no call had been received. The letter also enclosed a Form
433-A, Collection Information Statement for Wage Earners and
Self-Employed Individuals, for petitioner’s completion and as a
prerequisite to consideration of any collection alternatives.
On February 28, 2005, respondent filed a notice of objection
to petitioner’s motion for reconsideration, together with a
memorandum of points and authorities in support thereof. On
March 2, 2005, the Court denied petitioner’s motion. We
concluded that petitioner had not met the standards necessary to
obtain reconsideration with respect to the principal subject of
his motion, i.e., the issue of res judicata as it pertained to
