                                        - 3 -                                         
          TO APPEAR MAY RESULT IN DISMISSAL OF THE CASE AND ENTRY OF                  
          DECISION AGAINST YOU.”                                                      
               On October 17, 2005, this case was called from the calendar            
          at the Boston trial session.  Counsel for respondent and counsel            
          for petitioner appeared and filed a stipulation of settled issues           
          between petitioner and respondent, indicating that petitioner was           
          entitled to relief from joint and several liability pursuant to             
          section 6015(f) for 2000 and that no income taxes or additions to           
          tax were due from petitioner.  Respondent’s counsel reported to             
          the Court:  “We are unable to obtain an agreement from the                  
          intervenor to sign any sort of decision document.”  Intervenor              
          failed to appear at the calendar call and did not communicate               
          with the Court beforehand about the scheduled trial.                        
               On November 10, 2005, respondent filed a motion for entry of           
          decision pursuant to the stipulation of settled issues.  On                 
          November 21, 2005, intervenor filed objections to respondent’s              
          motion for entry of decision.  Intervenor objected to                       
          respondent’s motion for entry of decision on the grounds that he            
          was improperly excluded from pretrial conferences that allegedly            
          occurred between respondent and petitioner, that he relied on               
          respondent to fully prosecute this matter against petitioner’s              


               2(...continued)                                                        
          motion to impose sanctions with respect to respondent’s motions             
          to compel discovery, filed Aug. 31, 2005.  This Order did not               
          displace the May 17, 2005, notice setting the case for trial.
