Appeal from a Decision of the United States Tax Court Submitted November 8, 2021** Before: CANBY, TASHIMA, and MILLER, Circuit Judges.

Mark Anthony Blommer appeals pro se from the Tax Court’s order dismissing for lack of jurisdiction his petition regarding his tax liabilities for the 2004-2006 and 2009-2012 tax years. We have jurisdiction under 26 U.S.C. § 7482(a)(1). We review de novo. Gorospe v. Comm’r, 451 F.3d 966, 968 (9th

Cir. 2006). We affirm.

The Tax Court properly concluded that it lacked jurisdiction over Blommer’s petition because the petition was untimely. See Scar v. Comm’r, 814 F.3d 1363, 1366 (9th Cir. 1987) (Tax Court may exercise its jurisdiction only when the IRS issues a notice of deficiency and the taxpayer files a timely notice for redetermination); Wilson v. Comm’r, 564 F.2d 1317, 1319 (9th Cir. 1977) (90-day period for petitioning the Tax Court commences on the date of mailing the notice of deficiency).

Blommer’s motion for summary affirmance (Docket Entry No. 30) is denied.

AFFIRMED.
