          6213(a).1  For the reasons stated below, we shall grant                     
          respondent’s motion.                                                        
                                   Background                                         
               On August 3, 2006, respondent determined petitioner was                
          liable for a deficiency of $3,532 for 2004 and issued a notice of           
          deficiency to petitioner’s last known address.  The notice of               
          deficiency lists November 1, 2006, as the last date to petition             
          the Court.  Petitioner’s petition to redetermine respondent’s               
          determination is dated November 21, 2006, and was received and              
          filed by the Court on December 8, 2006.  In her petition,                   
          petitioner states that she is aware that she missed the deadline            
          for filing a petition with the Court, but she requests an                   
          extension.  Petitioner resided in Newark, New Jersey, when the              
          petition was filed.                                                         
                                   Discussion                                         
               The jurisdiction of this Court depends on the timely filing            
          of a petition.  Rule 13(c).  Section 6213(a) requires that                  
          petitioner’s petition to redetermine the deficiency be filed with           
          the Court within 90 days after the notice of deficiency was                 
          mailed.                                                                     
               The notice of determination was mailed to petitioner’s last            
          known address by certified mail on August 3, 2006, and the
