Dorothy P. Litzenberg, Appellant Pro Se. Eileen J. O’Connor,
Assistant Attorney General, Joel L. McElvain, UNITED STATES
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C.; B. John Williams, Jr.,
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, Washington, D.C., for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Dorothy P. Litzenberg appeals from the tax court’s orders
dismissing her petition based on her failure to appear for the
scheduled trial and denying her motions for reconsideration. We
have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis, deny Litzenberg’s
motion for appointment of counsel, and dismiss on the reasoning of
the tax court. See Litzenberg v. Comm’r, No. 01-837-L (U.S.T.C.
Sept. 17, Oct. 23, & Oct. 4, 2002). We also deny Litzenberg’s
“Motion for Special Judicial Appointment, Hearing, Counsel, and
Related Relief.” 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.
DISMISSED
