Opinion:
ORDER.
The taxpayers, Will McClure and Ruby McClure, his wife, seek by this action to enjoin the collection by the District Director of Internal Revenue of unpaid federal income taxes assessed for the years 1949, 1950 and 1951, on the ground that said assessments are null and void and that the collection thereof by the threatened sale of their home would leave the taxpayers and their six minor children destitute, with no way to obtain shelter elsewhere and without means to live. Taxpayers do not deny that some portion of the assessed taxes is owed, but dispute the correctness of the amount claimed, without stating what the correct amount is.
The District Judge denied taxpayers' motion for a temporary restraining order and sustained defendant's motion for summary judgment. McClure v. Rountree, 218 F.Supp. 215, E.D.Tenn.

It is ordered that the judgment of the District Court be affirmed.
