PER CURIAM:

      In Appeal No. 18-2426, Louis S. Shuman and Sandra Shuman appeal from the tax

court’s orders upholding the Commissioner of Internal Revenue’s proposed levy action

with respect to their self-reported income tax liability for the 2011 tax year and denying

their motion for reconsideration. In Appeal No. 19-1242, the Shumans appeal from the tax

court’s orders upholding the Commissioner’s determination of a deficiency in their 2011

income taxes, and denying their motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the records

in these appeals and find no abuse of discretion and no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the tax court. Shuman v. Comm’r of Internal Revenue, No.

15847-14L (T.C. Aug. 23, 2018, Nov. 30, 2018); Shuman v. Comm’r of Internal Revenue,

No. 27857-13 (T.C. Aug. 23, 2018, Dec. 3, 2018, Dec. 7, 2018). We deny the Shumans’

motions for production of documents and for a stay of enforcement pending resolution of

these appeals. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

                                                                             AFFIRMED

                                            3
