OPINION

BERBER, Judge:*

This case was part of a larger group of related cases bearing the designation “First Western Government Securities.” Petitioners filed a motion for summary judgment seeking a dismissal on jurisdictional grounds. There is no dispute as to the facts concerning the motion for summary judgment and the subject issue is ripe for resolution. More specifically, petitioners assert that the period for assessment of tax, as extended, had expired regarding their 1978 and 1981 taxable years at the time respondent sent the notice of deficiency which is the subject of this case.
