MOTION FOR SANCTIONS

COMES NOW Petitioner, Ward Dean, to move this Court to order sanctions against the Respondent, in particular, IRS Special Agent Tanya Burgess, pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 11. As cause for this motion, Petitioner states the following:

1. 26 USC §7609 (d) Restriction on Examination of records states:
No examination of any records required to be produced under a summons as to which notice is required under subsection (a) may be made:
(1) before the close of the 23rd day after the day notice with respect to the summons is given in the manner provided in subsection (a)(2).

2. Special Agent Burgess issued a summons under Code Section 7602 to Mr. Dillon Vickery on 16 October, 2002 (Exhibit A).

3. Subject Summons required Mr. Vickery to appear on 28 October, 2002, 12 days after issuance of the summons. This is in violation of the Code Section 7609(d)(1) (supra) requirement for 23 days.

4. Respondent violated Petitioner’s rights to both due process and equal protection of the law by violating the provisions of 26 USC §7609(d)(a)(1).

5. Petitioner is entitled to Notice of the issuance of the summons pursuant to 26 USC Section 7609(a).

6. Special Agent Burgess failed to Notice Petitioner of the issuance of the summons, in violation of Section 7609(a).

7. Petitioner timely filed a Petition to Quash the third party summons, pursuant to Code Section 7609(b).

8. Before this Honorable Court had time to rule on the Petition on 29 October, 2002, Mr. Vickery had already appeared by order of Special Agent Burgess, in violation of Petitioner's right to a 23 day period to obtain Due Process.

9. Mr. Vickery has again been orally summoned to appear before Special Agent Burgess on 1 November, 2002. This again is in violation of Code Section 7609(d)(1).

10. Special Agent Burgess disregards the law with impunity and continues to deny Petitioner Due Process of law by circumventing his right to appeal to this Honorable Court.

11. Special Agent Burgess’ failure to allow Petitioner’s Motion to Quash to be heard and ruled upon by this Court has denied Petitioner Due Process and Equal Protection of the Laws.

CONCLUSION

For the above cited reasons, Petitioner respectfully requests this Court to enter a finding that Petitioner has been deprived of Due Process and Equal Protection of the law by Special Agent Burgess through her deliberate actions to circumvent Petitioner’s right to judicial review of his Petition to Quash Summons, and recommend the appropriate agency action of dismissal of Agent Burgess for wanton disregard for the rights of a taxpayer.

Respectfully Submitted,
