               BRIEF BACKGROUND                                                       
               On February 7, 2006, Settlement Officer Elissa Dellosso                
               sent you a letter giving you an opportunity for a                      
               telephonic hearing for March 9, 2006.  You were advised                
               in that letter that the underlying liability issue that                
               was raised in your CDP request was precluded from this                 
               hearing, but that she would consider other collection                  
               alternatives.  Ms. Dellosso sent you a Collection                      
               Information Statement to prepare and send back to her                  
               by February 21, 2006.  She did not receive it.  On                     
               March 6, 2006 you requested a postponement and a face                  
               to face hearing, which was granted.  On March 15, 2006                 
               you appeared in her office and she conducted a face-to-                
               face hearing with you.  You did not submit the Collec-                 
               tion Information Statement and stated you wanted an-                   
               other postponement because you had just hired a firm to                
               represent you.  This request was denied because you had                
               sufficient time to obtain representation prior to the                  
               original scheduled hearing date.                                       
               1. Verification - Legal and Procedural Requirements                    
               a. General Verification Requirements                                   
               The assessment was properly made per IRC § 6201 for the                
               12/31/1995 and 12/31/1998 tax periods.  A statutory                    
               notice of deficiency was mailed to you via Certified                   
               Mail on June 10, 2002.  The administrative file shows                  
               that on August 22, 2002 the US Tax Court ordered you to                
               perfect the petition and pay the fee by 11/15/2002.                    
               You did not do so and the Court dismissed your case.                   
               The notice and demand for payment letter was mailed to                 
               your current address, within 60 days of the assessment,                
               as required by IRC § 6303.                                             
               There was a balance due when the CDP levy notice was                   
               requested.                                                             
               Ms. Dellosso verified the collection period allowed by                 
               statute to collect these taxes has been suspended by                   
               the appropriate computer codes for the tax periods at                  
               issue.                                                                 
               There was no pending bankruptcy at the time the notices                
               were issued.
