MEMORANDUM**

3

The Tax Court denied leave to file Webb's motion to vacate. The Tax Court had jurisdiction to consider the motion, although untimely filed, because the motion sought "to vacate [the Tax Court's] original decision for lack of jurisdiction." Billingsley v. Commissioner, 868 F.2d 1081, 1085 (9th Cir.1989). Accordingly, we REMAND to the Tax Court with instructions to grant leave to file the motion to vacate.
