    KEEFE V. US 2
    The United States moves to summarily affirm the
    judgments of the United States Court of Federal Claims
    in the above-captioned appeals.* The appellants oppose.
    The United States replies The appellants move to con-
    tinue to stay these cases pending the disposition by the
    United States Supreme Court of petitions for writ of
    certiorari related to this court’s combined decision in Prati
    v. United States, 2008-5117, 
    603 F.3d 1301
     (Fed. Cir.
    2010) and Deegan, v. United Stcctes, 2008-5129, 
    603 F.3d 1301
    . In the alternative, the appellants move to stay
    these cases pending disposition of two additional repre-
    sentative cases to resolve what appellants assert are
    remaining unresolved issues. = . _
    On June 22, 2009, this court stayed proceedings in the
    above-captioned cases pending disposition of two repre-
    sentative cases, Prati v. United States, 2008-5117 and
    Deegan v. United States, 2008-5129. ln these two cases,
    the taxpayers claimed that they were due refunds on two
    grounds: first, they argued that the lnternal Revenue
    Service assessed tax and interest after the statute of
    limitations expired Second, the taxpayers argued they
    were due refunds of penalty interest paid because their
    underpayments were not attributable to "tax motivated
    transactions." This court affirmed the Court of Federal
    Claims’ determination that the taxpayers claims for
    refunds were attributable to partnership items and thus
    not within that court’s jurisdiction
    Summary affirmance of a case is appropriate "when
    the position of one party is so clearly correct as a matter
    of law that no substantial question regarding the outcome
    of the appeal exists.” Joshua v. United States, 
    17 F.3d 378
    , 380 (Fed. Cir. 1994). In the above-captioned cases,
    the appellants claims are the same as the claims asserted
    ' For purposes of this order, we use a combined cap-
    tion. The cases are not consolidated
