          section 6673.1  A hearing was held thereon.  For the reasons set            
          forth below, we shall grant respondent's motion.                            
               Summary judgment is intended to expedite litigation and                
          avoid unnecessary and expensive trials.  Fla. Peach Corp. v.                
          Commissioner, 90 T.C. 678, 681 (1988).  Summary judgment may be             
          granted where there is no genuine issue of material fact and a              
          decision may be rendered as a matter of law.  Rule 121(a) and               
          (b).  The moving party bears the burden of proving that there is            
          no genuine issue of material fact, and factual inferences are               
          viewed in a light most favorable to the nonmoving party.  Craig             
          v. Commissioner, 119 T.C. 252, 260 (2002); Dahlstrom v.                     
          Commissioner, 85 T.C. 812, 821 (1985); Jacklin v. Commissioner,             
          79 T.C. 340, 344 (1982).  The party opposing summary judgment               
          must set forth specific facts which show that a genuine question            
          of material fact exists and may not rely merely on allegations or           
          denials in the pleadings.  Grant Creek Water Works, Ltd. v.                 
          Commissioner, 91 T.C. 322, 325 (1988); Casanova Co. v.                      
          Commissioner, 87 T.C. 214, 217 (1986).
