Case Information

*1 Before: LEAVY, BERZON, and MURGUIA, Circuit Judges.

Robert M. Herrera appeals pro se from the Tax Court’s order dismissing for lack of jurisdiction his action related to his 2008 tax liability. We have jurisdiction under 26 U.S.C. § 7482(a). We review de novo, Gorospe v. Comm’r , 451 F.3d 966, 968 (9th Cir. 2006), and we affirm.

*2 The Tax Court properly concluded that it lacked jurisdiction over Herrera’s petition because Herrera did not file it within 90 days of a notice of deficiency or 30 days of a notice of determination. See 26 U.S.C. §§ 6213(a) (establishing a 90- day requirement for appealing a notice of deficiency); 6320(c) & 6330(d)(1) (establishing a 30-day requirement for appealing a notice of determination concerning notices of lien or notices of intent to levy); Gorospe , 451 F.3d at 968 (the Tax Court is a court of limited jurisdiction, and its subject matter is defined by Title 26 of the United States Code).

We do not consider Herrera’s contention, raised for the first time on appeal in this case, that the Internal Revenue Service sent his mail to an incorrect address. See Kochansky v. Comm’r , 92 F.3d 957, 959 (9th Cir. 1996).

We lack jurisdiction to consider Herrera’s contentions regarding the Tax Court decisions in Nos. 15717-10, 26902-10, and 29326-11 because Herrera did not file a notice of appeal from those decisions. See Fed. R. App. P. 13(a)(1); 26 U.S.C. § 7483 (“Review of a decision of the Tax Court shall be obtained by filing a notice of appeal[.]”).

AFFIRMED.

2 15-70139
