                                        - 18 -                                        
          and the unfortunate, yet convincing, facts presented with respect           
          to petitioner’s gambling habit, that respondent’s Appeals officer           
          did not act in an arbitrary or capricious manner in rejecting               
          either of petitioner’s OICs and, in doing so, sustaining the                
          proposed levy action.                                                       
               Accordingly, without any evidence to create a question of              
          fact whether respondent’s Appeals Office abused its discretion,             
          respondent’s motion for summary judgment will be granted, and               
          petitioner’s cross-motion for summary judgment will be denied.              


                                             An appropriate order and                 
                                        decision will be entered.
