                                       - 17 -                                         
          petitioner seems to be a random number not derivable from or                
          bearing any particular relationship to the expenses upon which it           
          is purportedly premised.  As a result, the Court is unable to say           
          that respondent at any point arbitrarily or unreasonably failed             
          to take into account meaningful and pertinent information about             
          petitioner’s financial situation that would render the                      
          determination to proceed with levy an abuse of discretion.  See             
          Orum v. Commissioner, supra; Etkin v. Commissioner, supra.                  
               As much as we would like to assist petitioner, in light of             
          her repeated failure to take advantage of opportunities to                  
          provide adequate documentation of her apparently changed                    
          financial circumstances, we simply do not have before us evidence           
          to show that a remand would be appropriate and productive.  The             
          Court will sustain respondent’s collection action.                          
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              

                                                  An appropriate order                
                                             denying respondent’s motion              
                                             for summary judgment and                 
                                             decision for respondent will             
                                             be entered.
