          are void and of no effect.  Our ruling in Lundsford v.                      
          Commissioner, 117 T.C. 159, 165 (2001) (notice of determination             
          issued without proper hearing held to be valid for purposes of              
          Tax Court jurisdiction) does not preclude that result, as it is             
          bankruptcy law, which is extrinsic to the procedures specified in           
          section 6330, that leads to our conclusion.  Given the invalidity           
          of the notices of determination, we shall dismiss these cases for           
          lack of jurisdiction on the Court’s own motion.                             
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              

                                             Orders of dismissal shall be             
                                        entered denying respondent’s                  
                                        motions to dismiss for lack of                
                                        jurisdiction, and these cases shall           
                                        be dismissed for lack of                      
                                        jurisdiction on the Court’s own               
                                        motion.
