          Forms 4340, Certificate of Assessments, Payments, and Other                 
          Specified Matters, for the years at issue.  The settlement                  
          officer requested that petitioner submit, inter alia, tax returns           
          for 2004 and 2005 and a Form 433-A, Collection Information                  
          Statement for Wage Earners and Self-Employed Individuals.                   
               Although the parties exchanged correspondence over the next            
          few months, petitioner did not provide the requested information.           
          Respondent issued petitioner a Supplemental Notice of

          and/or 6330 (supplemental notice) on October 2, 2006.  The                  
          supplemental notice sustains the proposed levy and states that              
          applicable legal and administrative requirements were met.                  
               In February 2007, the parties filed cross-motions for                  
          summary judgment.5  Respondent and petitioner each filed an                 
          objection, and petitioner filed a reply to the objection.                   
                                     Discussion                                       
               Summary judgment is intended to expedite litigation and                
          avoid unnecessary and expensive trials.  Fla. Peach Corp. v.                
          Commissioner, 90 T.C. 678, 681 (1988).  Summary judgment may be             
          granted with respect to all or any part of the legal issues in

          depositions, admissions, and any other acceptable materials,

          judgment on Apr. 11, 2006, which we denied without prejudice.
