               Ms. Dellosso had no prior involvement with you concern-                
               ing the applicable tax periods before this CDP case.                   
               The CDP notice was sent by certified mail return re-                   
               ceipt requested to your last known address.                            
               Ms. Dellosso verified all laws and administrative                      
               procedures were met through review of computer tran-                   
               scripts and actions documented in the administrative                   
               file.                                                                  
               Verification of “Validity of Assessment”                               
               The assessment for your U.S. Individual Income Tax                     
               return for the tax periods ended 12/31/95 and                          
               12/31/1998 are valid.  This assessments were made after                
               you failed to file a valid petition with the US Tax                    
               Court.  The deficiency notice was issued on June 10,                   
               2002.  Your subsequent attempt to petition the court is                
               sufficient proof that you received the Statutory                       
               Notice.                                                                
               2. Issues and/or Collection Alternatives Raised by the                 
               Taxpayer                                                               
               You raised the issue of the underlying tax liability,                  
               which is precluded from this hearing.  You did not                     
               raise any additional issues or collection alternatives.                
               Collection Action Be No More Intrusive Than Necessary                  
               IRC § 6330 requires that the Appeals Office consider                   
               whether a proposed collection action balances the need                 
               for efficient collection of taxes with the legitimate                  
               concern that any collection action be no more intrusive                
               than necessary.                                                        
               You did not offer a collection alternative that Appeals                
               could accept as an alternative to the Notice of Levy                   
               that was issued to your employer.  Therefore, our                      
               determination is that the levy is sustained.  This                     
               balances the government’s need for the efficient col-                  
               lection of tax with your concern that collection be no                 
               more intrusive than necessary.  [Reproduced literally.]                
               In the petition commencing the instant case, petitioner                
          alleged that he believes that he owes only “$1383 (plus penalties
