MEMORANDUM OPINION
GOLDBERG, Judge: This case was assigned pursuant to the provisions of section 7443A(b)(3) and Rules 180, 181, and 182, 1 and is before the Court on respondent's Motion for Summary Judgment.
In two notices of deficiency 2 mailed on April 15, 1987, respondent determined deficiencies in and additions to petitioner's Federal income taxes in the following amounts as set forth below:
*413
| Additions to Tax | |||||
| Sec. | Sec. | Sec. | Sec. | ||
| Year | Deficiency | 6653(a) | 6653(a)(1) | 6653(a)(2) | 6659 |
| 1979 | $ 664 | $ 33.20 | N/A | -- | N/A |
| 1980 | 700 | 35.00 | N/A | -- | N/A |
| 1981 | 3,267 | N/A | $ 163.35 | 1 | $ 980.10 |
| 1982 | 3,791 | N/A | 189.55 | 1 | 1,137.30 |
| 1983 | 1,244 | N/A | 62.20 | 1 | 373.20 |
Respondent also determined that interest due on the deficiencies for 1981, 1982, and 1983 would be computed pursuant to the increased interest rate imposed under section 6621(c).
The income tax adjustments in these years related to the disallowance of investment tax credit carrybacks and carryforwards and partnership losses claimed with respect to petitioner's investment in two limited partnerships: River City Ranches #1 (Ranches #1) and River City Ranches #2 (Ranches #2).
Petitioner timely filed his Petition on July 2, 1987, and respondent filed an Answer on August 31, 1987. At that time, the issues were joined. Rule 38.
This case is part of a larger group of cases designated as the Hoyt Farms group, named after the *414 organizer and operator of numerous cattle and sheep breeding partnerships, W.J. Hoyt Sons, and/or Walter J. Hoyt III.
On April 19, 1994, respondent served petitioner with Respondent's First Request for Admissions. The request for admissions was filed with the Court on April 20, 1994. By Order dated August 3, 1994, we calendared this case for trial at a Special Session beginning at 10:00 a.m., on October 26, 1994, at San Francisco, California 94102. Subsequently, on August 15, 1994, respondent filed a Motion for Summary Judgment. We permitted petitioner to file an objection on or before September 14, 1994. To date, no objection has been filed. Also, we calendared respondent's motion for hearing at a special session of the Court in San Francisco, California, on October 26, 1994.
When the case was called from the calendar, there was no appearance by or on behalf of petitioner. Respondent's counsel appeared and was heard. Petitioner has done nothing to contest respondent's motion.
In the Motion for Summary Judgment, respondent contends that all of the facts necessary for our decision are set forth in Respondent's First Request for Admissions, filed April 20, 1994. Respondent notes that*415 petitioner did not respond to Respondent's First Request for Admissions, and, thus, pursuant to Rule 90(c), each matter set forth therein was automatically deemed admitted 30 days after service of the request. Morrison v. Commissioner, 81 T.C. 644">81 T.C. 644, 647 (1983); Freedson v. Commissioner, 65 T.C. 333">65 T.C. 333, 334-336 (1975), affd. on other grounds 565 F.2d 954">565 F.2d 954 (5th Cir. 1978). Respondent contends that she is entitled to a decision under Rule 121 as a matter of law.
The Court may grant summary judgment "if the pleadings, answers to interrogatories, depositions, admissions, and any other acceptable materials, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that a decision may be rendered as a matter of law." Rule 121(b); Bond v. Commissioner, 100 T.C. 32">100 T.C. 32, 36 (1993); see Naftel v. Commissioner, 85 T.C. 527">85 T.C. 527, 529 (1985). Respondent, as the moving party in this case, bears the burden of proving that there is no genuine issue of material fact and that a decision may be rendered as a matter of law. *416 Rule 121(b); Bond v. Commissioner, supra at 36; Preece v. Commissioner, 95 T.C. 594">95 T.C. 594, 596 (1990); Espinoza v. Commissioner, 78 T.C. 412">78 T.C. 412, 416 (1982). The Court will view factual material and inferences drawn therefrom in the light most favorable to the party opposing the motion for summary judgment. Jacklin v. Commissioner, 79 T.C. 340">79 T.C. 340, 344 (1982); Espinoza v. Commissioner, supra.
