                                        - 4 -                                         
          information petitioner wished to have considered in the hearing.            
          The letter requested a response by September 7, 2005.                       
               On September 13, 2005, petitioner sent respondent a letter             
          captioned “LEGAL NOTICE”, in which petitioner asserted only                 
          frivolous arguments.  Petitioner also sent a second letter                  
          containing frivolous arguments.  All of the arguments petitioner            
          raised in those letters were also raised in the 12-page amended             
          petition filed with this Court in petitioner’s deficiency case at           
          docket No. 14262-05.  On October 6, 2005, this Court struck, sua            
          sponte, paragraphs 5 through 50 and 78 through 139 of the                   
          petition in that case as frivolous and advised petitioner                   
          regarding section 6673(a)(1).                                               
               Based on the administrative file and correspondence,                   
          respondent’s Appeals officer determined that the proposed levy              
          was appropriate and sent petitioner a notice of determination.              
          Petitioner timely petitioned this Court pursuant to section 6330.           
          Petitioner’s lengthy petition and reply to respondent’s answer              
          raise only frivolous arguments.  Respondent filed a motion for              
          summary judgment and to impose a penalty pursuant to section 6673           
          on August 18, 2006.                                                         
                                     Discussion                                       
               Summary judgment is intended to expedite litigation and                
          avoid unnecessary and expensive trials and may be granted where
