Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York; Stephen W. Brennan, Judge.

Appeal by Estelle Bishop from dismissal of her action for refund of income taxes for 1943 assessed against her in 1953 on the basis of dividends originally, but erroneously, computed as the property of her husband — see Bishop v. Shaughnessy, D.C.N.D.N.Y., 95 F. Supp. 759, affirmed 2 Cir., 195 F.2d 683 — and the district court's holding that the assessments were timely under I.R.C. § 3801, 26 U.S.C.A. § 3801, giving an additional period of one year for the adjustment of income between "related taxpayers," and I.R.C. § 277, 26 U.S.C.A. § 277, allowing an additional 90 days after timely notice of a deficiency for the taxpayer to appeal to the Tax Court, and 60 days further for the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to make the assessment.
