Pottash v. Burnet
U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit · Decided May 4, 1931 · Groner
50 F.2d 321; 1931 U.S. App. LEXIS 4452; 1931 U.S. Tax Cas. (CCH) 9317; 60 App. D.C. 171 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Pottash v. Burnet

Opinion of the Court

GRONER, Associate Justice.

The rights of the taxpayer under this appeal are controlled by our decision in ease No. 5082, 60 App. D. C. —, 50 F.(2d) 317. Taxpayer is a partner in the firm of Pot-tash Bros, holding a 50 per cent, interest therein. To the extent that our decision in No. 5082 modifies the findings of the Board in that case, the taxpayer is entitled, to the extent of his interest in the income from the partnership, to prevail on this appeal. His tax liability should therefore be recomputed in conformity with our decision as to the correct income of Pottash Bros, for 1917 as decided in No. 5082.

- Modified and affirmed, and remanded for further proceedings.
