PER CURIAM:

            James   Howard      Schropp        appeals   from   the    tax    court’s

order   upholding      the   Commissioner’s        issuance     of    a     notice   of

federal   tax   lien    as    to    his   2005     income   tax    deficiency        and

upholding the determination that his Offer in Compromise was

insufficient.       We       have     reviewed     the   record       and    find    no

reversible error.       Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the tax court.            Schropp v. Comm’r of IRS, No. 24031-07L

(U.S.T.C.   Apr.    15,      2010).       We    dispense    with     oral    argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented

in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

                                                                             AFFIRMED
