No. 06-1963.

509 F.3d 736 (2007)

Homer L. RICHARDSON and Gloria M. Richardson, Petitioners, v. COMMISSIONER of INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent.

United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.

Decided and Filed: December 11, 2007.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

ARGUED: Robert Alan Jones, Las Vegas, Nevada, for Petitioners. Andrea R. Tebbets, United States Department of Justice, Washington, D.C., for Respondent. ON BRIEF: Robert Alan Jones, Las Vegas, Nevada, for Petitioners. Andrea R. Tebbets, Joan I. Oppenheimer, United States Department of Justice, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Before: MARTIN, GIBBONS, and SUTTON, Circuit Judges.
