US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 872 F.2d 418 (4th Cir. 1989) Argued Jan. 9, 1989. Decided March 21, 1989

Lawrence A. Merryman for appellant.

Steven Wesley Parks (Gary R. Allen, David I. Pincus, Tax Division, Department of Justice, William S. Rose, Jr., Assistant Attorney General on brief) for appellee.

Before K.K. HALL, PHILLIPS, and MURNAGHAN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

In these consolidated appeals, one individual and four corporate taxpayers appeal from decisions of the United States Tax Court which determined deficiencies in their tax liabilities for the tax years 1973, 1974, and 1975. Upon consideration of oral argument and our review of the record and the Tax Court's memorandum opinion, we are of the opinion that the Tax Court correctly decided each of the issues raised by these appeals. Accordingly, we affirm the decisions on the reasoning of the Tax Court. Norman v. Commissioner, 53 T.C.M. (CCH) 905 (1987).1 

AFFIRMED.
