                                        - 9 -                                         
          accounting books, records, invoices, and bank records related to            
          the medical equipment business, documentation related to the                
          purchase of the medical equipment, depreciation schedules for the           
          medical equipment, canceled checks verifying petitioner’s initial           
          investment and additional capital contributions to KCP, loan                
          agreements relating to KCP, and books and records of KCP used to            
          compute petitioner’s basis in KCP.  Petitioner did not provide              
          the requested documents.                                                    
               On February 10, 2006, respondent filed a motion seeking an             
          order to compel production of documents.  On February 23, 2006,             
          the Court ordered petitioner to “on or before March 10, 2006,               
          produce to counsel for respondent, for inspection and copying,              
          each and every document requested in respondent’s request for               
          production of documents”.                                                   
               In response, to substantiate his basis in KCP, petitioner              
          produced a one-page typed statement of his KCP capital account              
          titled “Karason Family Investment Club Capital Account - JCK”.              
          The typed statement contradicted the handwritten statement                  
          petitioner had provided during the audit.  The typed statement              
          indicated that he had a 2001 capital balance of $81,806 and                 
          contributed $18,500 to KCP in 2001.  The typed statement also               
          indicated he made capital contributions every year from 1986                
          through 2001 and incurred $31,552 of partnership losses in 2001.            
          No supporting documentation was provided to substantiate these
