Before HAYNSWORTH, Chief Judge, and SOBELOFF and BOREMAN, Circuit Judges.
United States Court of Appeals Fourth Circuit.
SOBELOFF, Circuit Judge:
In Moore v. United States, 4 Cir., 360 F.2d 353, decided today, we held that a criminal conviction for tax evasion works a collateral estoppel on the issue of fraud in a subsequent civil suit over a fraud penalty covering the same years. For the reasons fully stated in that opinion, and which need not be repeated, we sustain the Tax Court's reliance on collateral estoppel in the present proceeding.
