Task: songer_applfrom

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals. Your task is to identify the type of district court decision or judgment appealed from (i.e., the nature of the decision below in the district court).

PER CURIAM.
The first question presented is whether petitioners’ partnership on the settlement of sell and buy contracts of “when issued” securities realized a net short-term capital gain as found by the Tax Court or a long-term capital gain and a short-term capital loss as urged by petitioners
We find ample factual basis in the record for the Tax Court’s conclusion that what took place on the settlement date was a sa]e ancj exchange not of the contract rights but of the securities involved which resulted in a short-term capital transaction.
The second question concerns the re-computations of taxpayers deficiencies. We think that these were properly calculated under Rule 50 of the rules of that court. They were the direct consequence „ ,, m ^ , of the Tax Court s findings and opinion , , and made necessary by the differences between those findings and opinion and the earlier determination by the Corn-missioner. They did not constitute new issues.
The decisions of the Tax Court, 19 T.C. 641, will be affirmed.
