PER CURIAM.
Larry Coleman appeals the tax court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment in
his action challenging a Notice of Determination issued by the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) Office of Appeals.
After carefully reviewing the record de novo, see Nestle Purina Petcare Co. v.
Comm’r, 594 F.3d 968, 969 (8th Cir.), cert. denied 131 S. Ct. 86 (2010), we conclude
that summary judgment was appropriate for the reasons stated by the tax court, and
we find no merit to Coleman’s arguments on appeal. We also decline to consider
1
The Honorable Robert N. Armen, Jr., United States Tax Court Judge.
Coleman’s request for relief based on changed circumstances. See 26 U.S.C.
§ 6330(d)(2) (IRS Office of Appeals shall retain jurisdiction with respect to
determination, including subsequent hearings, on issues regarding change in
circumstances which affects such determination).
Accordingly, we affirm the tax court’s decision. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
