          agreement would not be considered because of petitioners’ poor              
          compliance record.  Respondent issued the notice of determination           
          on April 8, 2003, sustaining the levy.                                      
               In the petition, petitioners alleged errors in the notice of           
          determination, specifically that Appeals failed to give them a              
          fair hearing and that Appeals failed to act properly with regard            
          to the collection activity.  After the petition was filed,                  
          counsel for respondent requested that Appeals discuss collection            
          alternatives with petitioners at a face-to-face hearing.                    
          Petitioner3 and respondent’s SO met on September 9, 2003, and               
          discussed collection alternatives.  Petitioners submitted an OIC            
          on November 6, 2003.  On December 1, 2003, the SO sent                      
          petitioners a letter requesting that they complete missing items            
          on the form and submit additional information.                              
               This case was calendared for trial at the May 3, 2004,                 
          session of this Court in New York, New York.  Petitioners filed a           
          motion for continuance in which they stated that they would be              
          submitting an OIC.  The Court granted the motion.  The case was             
          then calendared for trial at the session of this Court beginning            
          on January 24, 2005.  Petitioners filed another motion for                  
          continuance in order to retain counsel.  The Court granted the              
          motion and ordered petitioners to submit an OIC to respondent no            
          later than March 1, 2005.  Petitioners filed a status report on
