Discussion
I. Motion for Summary Judgment
Rule 121(a) provides that either party may move for summary
judgment upon all or any part of the legal issues in controversy.
Summary judgment may be granted if it is demonstrated that no
genuine issue exists as to any material fact and a decision may
be rendered as a matter of law. Rule 121(b); Sundstrand Corp. v.
Commissioner, 98 T.C. 518, 520 (1992), affd. 17 F.3d 965 (7th
Cir. 1994).
We conclude that there is no genuine issue as to any
material fact and that a decision may be rendered as a matter of
law.
II. Determination To Proceed With Collection
Section 6331(a) provides that, if any person liable to pay
any tax neglects or refuses to do so within 10 days after notice
and demand, the Secretary can collect such tax by levy upon
property belonging to such person. Pursuant to section 6331(d),
the Secretary is required to give the taxpayer notice of his
intent to levy and within that notice must describe the
administrative review available to the taxpayer, before
proceeding with the levy. See also sec. 6330(a).
