OPINION
PER CURIAM:

1
Arthur S. Curtis appeals from the tax court's orders (1) denying his request for reimbursement of litigation expenses incurred in connection with a dispute over the Commissioner's deficiency assessments for tax years 1986 and 1987, and (2) denying his motion to vacate the tax court's decision.  Curtis elected to have this case heard as a "small tax case" under 26 U.S.C. § 7463 (1988), which provides that decisions in these cases "shall not be reviewed in any other court and shall not be treated as a precedent for any other case."  26 U.S.C. § 7463(b).  Therefore, we grant the Commissioner's Motion to Dismiss Appeal for Lack of Jurisdiction.  We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
