Carter H. Ogden, Zelma Ogden and Dorothy Ogden v. United States of America, E. B. Ogden, Jr. And Nancy A. Ogden v. United States
555 F.2d 134
5th Cir.
1977
Check Treatment
PER CURIAM.

The district court dismissed for lack of jurisdiction the taxpayers’ actions for refund of income taxes alleged to be due by virtue of deductions claimed for certain losses resulting from expropriation of their property by the Cuban government. See Ogden et al. v. United States, S.D.Miss. 1977, 432 F.Supp. 214. 1

Perusal of the record and the briefs of the parties, followed by oral argument, persuades us that the trial court correctly determined that the claims for refund were time-barred under Section 165 of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. § 165.

AFFIRMED.
