               issued to P and therefore the Court is without                         
               jurisdiction to consider P’s motion to restrain                        
               assessment.                                                            
                    Held:  Since no notice of deficiency or notice of                 
               determination was issued in this case, the Court lacks                 
               jurisdiction.                                                          
                    Held further, the Court’s order to show cause why                 
               this case should not be dismissed for lack of                          
               jurisdiction shall be made absolute.                                   


               John Ballard, pro se.

                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION                                   

               PANUTHOS, Chief Special Trial Judge:  This matter is before            
          the Court on (1) petitioner’s Motion to Restrain Assessment, and            
          (2) the Court’s Order to Show Cause why this case should not be             
          dismissed for lack of jurisdiction on the grounds that no notice            
          of deficiency or notice of determination has been sent to

          with a remedy to challenge respondent’s actions.  Petitioner                
          contends that respondent’s proposed change to his withholding
