Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Michael Eugene Mounts, Appellant Pro Se. Gilbert Steven Rothenberg, Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Robert Joel Branman, Robert William Metzler, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Tax Division, Washington, D.C., for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Michael Eugene Mounts appeals from the tax court’s

order dismissing as untimely his petition for redetermination of

a deficiency with respect to his 2007 and 2008 income tax

liability. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the tax

court. See Mounts v. Comm’r of Internal Revenue, T.C. No. 1252-

14L (U.S.T.C. Apr. 4, 2014). We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented

in the materials before this court and argument would not aid

the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
