    ____________
    Before COLLOTON, BOWMAN, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
    ____________
    PER CURIAM.
    Charles and Maralee Sisson appeal from an order of the Tax Court1 denying
    their motion for leave to file a motion to correct purported inaccuracies in a hearing
    transcript. After careful review, we find no basis for reversal, given that the specific

    relief the Sissons seek could not have any effect on the matters at issue in this case.
    See Doe v. Nixon, 
    716 F.3d 1041
    , 1051 (8th Cir. 2013) (noting that a federal court
    does not have authority to give opinions on moot questions or abstract propositions
    that cannot affect the matter at issue in the case before it).
    Accordingly, we affirm.
