Thomas A. Daboul, Petitioner and Appellant, v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Appellee, 429 F.2d 38 (9th Cir. 1970)

Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 429 F.2d 38 (9th Cir. 1970) July 6, 1970

Thomas A. DaBoul, in pro per.

Johnnie M. Walters, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tax Division, Dept. of Justice, K. Martin Worthy, Chief Counsel, I. R. S., Lee A. Jackson, Elmer J. Kelsey, Richard Farber, Dept. of Justice, Washington, D. C., for appellee.

Before CHAMBERS and MERRILL, Circuit Judges, and BYRNE, District Judge.

PER CURIAM:


The appeal is dismissed as legally frivolous.

The issuance of a statutory notice of deficiency by the commissioner (which was never issued in this case) is necessary before the tax court has jurisdiction. See Corbett v. Frank, 9 Cir., 293 F.2d 501.

If DaBoul was entitled to any relief, he should have proceeded in some United States district court.
