U.S.T.C.
AFFIRMED.
Before MURNAGHAN, HAMILTON, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Sidney and Judy Smith (the Smiths) appeal the decision of the tax court, holding that they were liable for additions to tax pursuant to 26 U.S.C. §§ 6653(b) (1),(2) and 6661(a) for fraud and substantial understatement of income tax. The additions to tax stemmed from the Smiths' claim for depreciation and an investment tax credit for an asset which had not yet been placed into service. Our review of the briefs and consideration of the arguments of the parties have revealed that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the tax court for the reasons stated by that court in its memorandum opinion. Smith v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo 1992-353 (T.C. August 19, 1992).
AFFIRMED
