This court does not have jurisdiction to review the Tax Court decision. Internal Revenue Code of 1954, § 7482(a). That decision went up for review through the appropriate lines of review. Plaintiff has raised no issue as to 1964 not presented and decided in the prior case. He is collaterally estopped from relitigating the amount of his 1964 net operating loss. Commissioner v.
