          respondent’s Appeals Office abused its discretion in determining            
          to proceed with collection of petitioner’s tax liabilities for              
          taxable years 1994 and 1995.                                                
                                   Background                                         
               None of the facts were stipulated.  At the time of filing              
          the petition in the instant case, petitioner resided in Orlando,            
          Florida.                                                                    
               Petitioner failed to file timely income tax returns for                
          taxable years 1994 and 1995.  On March 11, 2002, petitioner filed           
          late his income tax returns for the taxable years 1994 and 1995.            
               On February 25, 2000, respondent sent petitioner the Notices           
          of Deficiency for taxable years 1994 and 1995.  On May 16, 2003,            
          respondent mailed to petitioner a Notice of Intent to Levy and              
          Notice of Your Right to a Hearing (Levy Notice).  Petitioner                
          received the Levy Notice but did not request a hearing.                     
               Subsequently, respondent and petitioner met for an audit               
          reconsideration of petitioner’s taxable years 1994 and 1995.  On            
          October 4, 2004, petitioner signed Form 4549, Income Tax                    
          Examination Changes (Form 4549), consenting to the immediate                
          assessment and collection of tax liabilities for 1994 and 1995.             
               On February 2, 2005, respondent mailed to petitioner a                 
          notice of Federal tax lien (lien notice) for the taxable years
