                           Notice, September 26, 2005, Respondent                     
                           also issued a notice of Final Partner-                     
                           ship Administrative Adjustment                             
                           (“FPAA”) to Evergreen Trading.                             
                    g.     Consistent with the precedent of this                      
                           Court in, inter alia, Maxwell, supra,                      
                           the ostensible Notice is a nullity.                        
               Around February 21, 2006, petitioners Glenn Nussdorf and               
          Claudine Strum in the case at docket No. 24297-05 filed on behalf           
          of GN Investments, LLC,7 a partner other than the tax matters               
          partner of Evergreen Trading, a complaint in the United States              
          Court of Federal Claims that alleges error in the adjustments               
          made in the FPAA issued with respect to Evergreen Trading for the           
          taxable years 1999 and 2000.  That case is still pending in that            
          Court.                                                                      
                                     Discussion                                       
               In respondent’s respective motions, respondent asks the                
          Court to dismiss these cases for lack of jurisdiction on the                
          ground that the respective notices of deficiency for the taxable            
          years 1999 and 2000 that respondent issued to petitioners in                
          these cases are invalid.  That is because, according to respon-             
          dent, those notices contain only determinations that constitute             
          partnership items, as defined in section 6231(a)(3), or affected            
          items, as defined in section 6231(a)(5), relating to Evergreen              


               7GN Investments, LLC, is a flowthrough entity that peti-               
          tioner Glenn Nussdorf used in order to become a member of or                
          partner in Evergreen Trading.
