No. 90-15345.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted Nov. 21, 1990.*Decided Sept. 3, 1991.

Before HUG, WILLIAM A. NORRIS and NOONAN, Circuit Judges.

ORDER

1
We affirm the summary judgment of the district court.   The record confirms that the Internal Revenue Service provided the taxpayer with all the required notices and properly assessed his taxes.   No genuine issue of material fact exists concerning the lawfulness of the assessment.   The amount of the deficiency was determined by the Tax Court and the principles of res judicata preclude review of that decision in this collateral proceeding.


2
AFFIRMED.
