v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Peter J. Messitte, Senior District Judge. (8:08-cv-00438-PJM)

Submitted: May 28, 2009 Decided: June 2, 2009

Before WILKINSON, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Irvin H. Catlett, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Melissa Briggs, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Tax Division, Washington, D.C., for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Irvin H. Catlett, Jr., appeals the district court’s

order denying ten petitions to quash administrative summonses

issued by the Internal Revenue Service. Our review of the

record discloses that the Government met its burden of proof

under 28 U.S.C. § 7602 (2006) to support the enforcement of the

summonses. See United States v. Powell, 379 U.S. 48, 57-58

(1964); Alphin v. United States, 809 F.2d 236, 238 (4th Cir.

1987). Accordingly, we affirm. We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented

in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

AFFIRMED
