Unpublished Dispositioncharles F. Rupprecht and Margaret Rupprecht, Plaintiffs-appellants, v. the United States, Defendant-appellee, 829 F.2d 43 (Fed. Cir. 1987)
Annotate this CaseBefore DAVIS, Circuit Judge, BALDWIN, Senior Circuit Judge, and SMITH, Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM.
DECISION
The decision of the United States Claims Court, refusing an income tax refund to appellants, 11 Cl.Ct. 689 (1987), is affirmed.
OPINION
The issue is whether payment received by plaintiffs-taxpayers for their unexercised options to purchase stock of the husband's prior employer should be taxed as ordinary income or at capital gain rates. Taxpayers argue for the latter while the Government urges the former. The case was presented to the Claims Court on undisputed facts and cross-motions for summary judgment. Judge Mayer, then of the Claims Court, held for the Government. The particular facts and the legal questions involved are all thoroughly discussed in Judge Mayer's opinion with which we agree. We affirm on the basis of that opinion.
