                                       - 11 -                                         
               (b). The taxpayer will file his 2000, 2001 and 2002                    
               income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service                   
               Hartford, Connecticut Office reflecting the correct                    
               information.                                                           
               (c). The penalties should be abated due to reasonable                  
               causes as discussed in Form 12153, copy enclosed.                      
                                     Discussion                                       
               The Court may grant summary judgment where there is no                 
          genuine issue of 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 are no genuine issues of material fact                  
          regarding the questions raised in respondent’s motion.                      
               In the petition, petitioner alleged that the 2000 and 2001             
          notice and the 2002 notice are wrong and that the additions to              
          tax for those years “should be abated”.4                                    
               We first address petitioner’s allegation in the petition               
          that the Court should abate the respective additions to tax for             
          his taxable years 2000, 2001, and 2002.  Although not altogether            
          clear, petitioner appears to be requesting the Court to review              


               4In the petition, petitioner refers to the respective no-              
          tices of intent to levy that respondent issued with respect to              
          petitioner’s taxable years 2000 and 2001 and 2002.  Petitioner’s            
          authorized representative did not file timely petitioner’s Form             
          12153 with respect to those notices, see sec. 6330(a)(2) and                
          (3)(B) and (b), and the notice of determination makes no determi-           
          nation with respect to those notices.  We conclude that we do not           
          have jurisdiction to consider petitioner’s arguments with respect           
          to the notices of intent to levy.  See Offiler v. Commissioner,             
          114 T.C. 492, 498 (2000).
