¶3ORDER

¶4Before WEICK, PECK and KENT, Circuit Judges.

¶5After receiving a notice of deficiency in income taxes for the years 1949 through 1957 the taxpayers filed a timely petition for redetermination by the Tax Court. After trial the Tax Court reached a decision finding the existence of deficiencies in each of the taxable years and imposed fraud penalties for each year except 1957. 24 T.C.M. 324. The taxpayers appealed to this Court which affirmed the Tax Court. 374 F.2d 863 (6 Cir. 1967).

¶6On June 22, 1971 the taxpayers filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan alleging that the evidence in the original case before the Tax Court constituted fraud upon the Court. Later by amendment the taxpayers asserted that the taxpayer, Louise Bosch-ma, should be relieved from liability under the provisions of Section 6013(e) Internal Revenue Code of 1954, 26 U.S.C. § 6013(e), and sought a temporary injunction to restrain the District Director from pursuing any property in which taxpayer, Louise Boschma, had an interest. On motion District Judge Cornelia Kennedy denied the injunction and dismissed the action on the ground that the case was res judicata and, therefore, not within the provisions of the exception created by Section 7421 Internal Revenue Code of 1954, 26 U.S.C. § 7421.

¶7The taxpayer cannot be permitted to collaterally attack a judgment entered by the Tax Court and affirmed by this Court years before the present action was commenced.

¶8Therefore, it is ordered that the judgment of the District Court be affirmed for the reasons stated by District Judge Cornelia Kennedy.
