Henry R. And Dorothy F. Ballard v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue

Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

Decided December 16, 1980No. 79-7008PublishedCited by 2 opinions

1Per curiam

The instant case is an attempt to appeal from a decision rendered under the small claims procedure of the tax court. 26 U.S.C. § 7463. The statute quite specifically denies us any jurisdiction in such matters. 26 U.S.C. § 7463(b). The Sixth Circuit is in agreement with our conclusion. Kahle v. Commissioner, 566 F.2d 581, 582 (6th Cir. 1977). Any constitutional objections to the procedure are not set forth with specificity, and our review of such considerations, therefore, is not justified in this case.

The appeal is DISMISSED.
