               dismiss this case in full in that applicable State law                 
               precludes P from prosecuting any part of this case.                    
               Although sec. 7491(c), I.R.C., generally places the                    
               burden of production on R as to any addition to tax or                 
               penalty at issue in this Court, that section is                        
               inapplicable where, as here, the petitioning taxpayer                  
               is a corporation.                                                      


               James G. LeBloch, for petitioner.                                      
               Michael W. Berwind, for respondent.                                    


                                       OPINION                                        

               LARO, Judge:  On February 14, 2005, petitioner petitioned              
          the Court to redetermine respondent’s determination of                      
          deficiencies of $68,990 and $46,465.20 in its Federal income                
          taxes for its taxable years ended October 31, 1998 and 1999,                
          respectively, additions to tax under section 6651(a)(1) of                  
          $10,285.55 and $11,548.25, respectively, and accuracy-related               
          penalties under section 6662(a) of $13,798 and $9,293.04,                   
          respectively.1  Respondent now moves the Court to dismiss this              
          case to the extent it relates to deficiencies and to find without           
          trial that petitioner is liable for the additions to tax and                
          accuracy-related penalties as determined.  Respondent asserts               
          that petitioner cannot prosecute this case as to the deficiencies
