OPINION
PER CURIAM:

1
Fred W. Allnutt, Sr. appeals from the decision of the tax court finding him liable for penalties for failure to pay estimated taxes, civil fraud, and pursuing a frivolous proceeding in tax court.   I.R.C. §§ 6653(b), 6654, and 6673.   Allnutt contends that the imposition of these penalties is in error because the Commissioner has failed to properly comply with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 and that summary judgment was improper on the issue of fraud.   After careful review of the record, briefs of counsel, and the decision of the tax court, we find Allnutt's arguments without merit.   Therefore, we affirm on the reasoning of the tax court.  Allnutt v. Commissioner, Tax Ct. No. 9225-89 (U.S. Tax Ct. Jan. 18, 1991).   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.
