                                        - 8 -                                         
          Memo. 2004-288; Tolotti v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2002-86,                
          affd. 70 Fed. Appx. 971 (9th Cir. 2003).  Because petitioner                
          raised only arguments the Tax Court has uniformly determined to             
          be without merit, the settlement officer appropriately concluded            
          the meeting.                                                                
               Petitioner’s arguments do not present justiciable issues;              
          they ignore established law and give no basis for his claim that            
          respondent abused his discretion in sustaining the Federal tax              
          lien.  This Court concludes that respondent’s determination to              
          proceed with collection of the tax liabilities assessed against             
          petitioner for 1999 was not an abuse of discretion.                         
               In reaching these holdings, the Court has considered all               
          arguments made and, to the extent not mentioned, concludes that             
          they are moot, irrelevant, or without merit.                                
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              


                                                       Decision will be               
                                                  entered for respondent.
