               this is convenient.  If it is not, I will be glad to                   
               arrange another time.                                                  
                    Our meeting will be informal and you may present                  
               facts, arguments, and legal authority to support your                  
               position.  If you plan to discuss new material, please                 
               send me copies at least five days before our meeting.

          The Appeals officer knew that petitioner was incarcerated when he           
          sent that letter.  On May 15, 2002, petitioner wrote the                    
          following to the Appeals officer:                                           
                    I received your May 1, 2002, correspondence                       
               affixed hereto, and I respond accordingly.  I was                      
               transferred to the facility listed below and * * *                     
               Wyoming did not forward your correspondence                            
               expeditiously.  Therefore, I apologize for the delayed                 
               response, but it is with just cause.                                   
                    I commence by thanking you for scheduling a                       
               conference on this case.  Unfortunately, I am faced                    
               with two challenges:  (1) I am confined to solitary                    
               until July 16, 2002 and I do not have access to a                      
               telephone, legal documents, and/or transportation to                   
               even meet with you at this time.  Furthermore and due                  
               to my indigency status as granted by both Federal and                  
               State courts, I am unable to retain an attorney,                       
               certified public accountant or person enrolled to                      
               practice before the Internal Revenue Service.  I am                    
               currently petitioning a professional willing to assist                 
               pro bono.                                                              
                 *      *      *      *      *      *      *      *                   
               I humbly request a moratorium until I can either (1)                   
               access my complete file post July 16, 2002, (2) obtain                 
               a pro bono accountant or attorney or, (3) complete my                  
               due process right to a full and fair opportunity to                    
               appeal my criminal case.  * * *.
