Ramer v. Commissioner

394 F. App'x 353

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Lester Ramer appeals the tax court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment in this tax-deficiency action. Ramer has also filed a motion challenging the tax court’s return of certain documents for noncompliance -with the court’s rules, and a motion to “strike” certain federal rules and statutes.

Upon careful de novo review of the tax court’s summary judgment decision, see Nestle Purina Petcare Co. v. Comm’r, 594 F.3d 968, 970 (8th Cir.2010) (standard for reviewing tax court’s summary judgment decision), petition for cert. filed, 78 U.S.L.W. 3653 (U.S. Apr. 30, 2010) (No. 09-1339), we conclude that the grant of summary judgment was proper for the reasons stated by the tax court, and we find no merit to any of Ramer’s arguments on appeal.

Accordingly, we affirm the tax court’s decision. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny the pending motions.

1 . The Honorable L. Paige Marvel, United States Tax Court Judge.
