i proceeding has no bearing on the question before the
2 Court. 3 THE COURT: Well, I'm not going to say
4 absolutely no to that. If there is any ambiguity in
5 the tax code -6 7
MR. KATER: Of course.
THE COURT: - - or regulations, it could be
8 relevant possibly what has occurred in other cases,
9 but I'm not going to prejudge that.
10
MR. KATER: Of course.
THE COURT: We will see how that plays out.
11
12 So let's keep the brief ing schedule that I spoke about
13 and if the government sees a need for discovery, which 14 may involve just maybe a phone call, can you give me
15 the following information, A, B, and C, maybe we can
16 do it that way. We'll deal with it at that time. But
17 I want them first to see your motion and then we can
18 go forward from there.
19
MR. KATER: Now, maybe Mr. Bassin would be
20 agreeable, I don' t know, but I would at least raise
21 the issue of how we handle the scheduling as to other
22 aspects of this case. We do have a response date due.
23 I appreciate your generosity in extending the
24 deadl ine .
25 The discovery requests were quite extensive,

i but he's been very gracious in taking that into
2 consideration, and the question now is does Mr. Bassin
3 have any obj ection if we were to address this question
4 first, put that on- hold, deal with the resolution of
5 this question, and then resume. We have no objection
6 to any appropriate extension along those lines.
7
MR. BASSIN: Your Honor i we have no
8 obj ection to staying- other proceedings provided that
9 we all recognize that the deadlines established by the
10 Court's earlier scheduling order are going to have to 11 be revisited once this jurisdictional matter is 12 reso1 ved.
13
THE COURT: Well, I think that it makes a
14 lot of sense to suspend other proceedings for the time
15 being until we get this jurisdictional issue resolved. 16 And so in the order that we issue later today or 17 tomorrow we will provide for that.
18 19
MR. KATER: Very good, Your Honor.
MR. BASSIN: Your Honor, the only other
20 question I had, and I have not quite looked all the 21 way through the rules yet, but on motions to dismiss
22 and for summary judgment I though the briefing
23 schedule was a -- it was a 28-day period.
24
THE COURT: Well, you could be right. Do
25 you want that much time for this? I mean, can't we do

i it more expeditiously?
2
MR. BASSIN: Why don' t we see what they do,
3 and I suspect we will be coming to you. I know we're
4 not going to get it done in 14 days, and we'll be
5 coming before you and we'll tell you what we propose
6 in terms of the schedule.
7
THE COURT: Well, again, it seems like it
8 ought to be pretty simple, and I want to move it
9 along. We're not going to take months and months on
10 this.
11
12
MR. BASSIN: Oh, of course.
THE COURT: So we'll set up the schedule as
13 described, 14, 14 and seven, and then you get in touch 14 with us after the motion comes in. Is that
15 acceptable?
16 17
MR. KATER: Yes, Your Honor. Thank you.
MR. BASSIN: Your Honor, we'll see where we
18 are in 14 days. I understand your desire to move this
19 along.
20
THE COURT: You know, many motions for
21 summary judgment involved, really involved complex
22 sets of facts. I'm not saying where this one falls.
23 Because it's sort of in the middle of everything else 24 that's going on, I would like to keep to a quick 25 schedule if we can.

On July 30, 1999, Alled Wase Industres, Inc. ("Alied") acquired substatially
all of the outstding stock of Claimat Prior to the acquisition. Claimat utiliz a lae in.
house st to mange the liabilties aring frm its operations. In contr Alled utiliz a

Eah of the BFI Entities then sold their shars of Clas B Common Stock to .
envirownental and inrace consultats with considerable expertse in the liilties maed
by the resptive liabilty mangement company (hereir referr to the "Conslti
Investors"). See identities of Consulting Investors at Exbit 2. The ownerhip of the stock
provides an equity incentive for the Consulting Investors to aggrssively identü an tae
advantage of cost-savi opportties in maing the liabilties.
The agggate amount reaiz by the BFI Entities on the sae of th Class B
Common Stock dur th 1999 ta yea was $901,654. The BFI Entities' ta bais in the Clas
B Common Stock was a substitue basis equal to the su of the ta bas of the prope whch
the BFI Entities contrbuted to the liabilty maagement companes and unuce by the
liabilty magement companes' asumption of the liabilties in accordance with § 358. As
shown on Exhbit 1, the BFI Entities' agregate ta basis in the Clas B Common Stock was
$902,561,661. The liabilties do not reduce stock basis becuse they are excluded under §
357(c)(3) and, therefore, § 358(dX2) applies. Altertively, the liabilties ar not taen into
account under § 358(d) beaue such contingent liabilities ar not "liabilties" for federal income
ta puroses. Consequently, as shown on Exhbit t, the BFI Entties' sales of the Clas B
Common Stock rested in an aggregate caita loss of $90 1.66,007 in the 1999 ta year.
Claimant's deuction of the caita loss relti frm the sae of th Class B
Common Stock durg the 1999 ta year wa disaowed by the Inte Revenue Servce's (the

On July 30, 1999, Aled Waste Industres, Inc. ("Alled") acquired substatially
all of the outtadig stck of Claimant. Prior to the acquisition, Clait utiliz a lae in-
house sta to mane the liabilties arsing frm its operaons. In contrt, Alled utilizd a
sml in-hous sta and outurced most of its environmenta maagement, risk maement
and other expertse.
In July i 999, shorty before the close of
the acquisition, Claimat rested the
manement of its contigent liabilties in a manr consistent with Alled's outsuring
approach and to provide a lega strctu tht would foster the effective mangemen of the
liabilties. As a replacement for Claimants heavily sted interl deparents, Claimant
esblished six sepate liabilty maement compaIes based on the speific exprtse needed
for the maagement of the liabilties and compliance with applicable regulatory laws, as shown
on Exhbit 2. In order to conslidae the liabilties i.nto the correspondng liabilty maagement
compaies, the BFl Entities contributed cert notes in an aggegate amount of$902.561,661 to
the liabilty mangement companies in exchage for (i) Class B Common Stock, and (ii) the
asption by the liabilty màngement compaes of contigent liabilties in the aggregate
amoWlt of $901,660,007. The above trctons were ta-free exchages puruant to § 351.
Each of the BFI Entites then sold their shar of Class B Common Stock to
enviromnental and inurance consultats with considerble exse in the liabilities maged
by the respctive liabilty manement company (hereiafr referrd to the "Consulti
Investors"). See identities of Consultig Investrs at Exhbit 2. The ownersmp of the stok
provides an equity incentive for the Consuting Investors to aggrsively identify and tae
advantage of cost-saving opportities in managing the liabilities.

The aggrgate amount reaiz by the BFI Entities on the sale of the . Class B
Common Stock durng the 1999 ta year wa $901,654. The BFI Entities' ta bais in the Class
B Common Stock wa a substitute bais equa to the sum of th ta bais of the property which
the BFI Entities contributed to the liabilty manement companies and uneduced by the
liabilty management compaes' asumtion of the liabilties in accrdce with § 358. As
shown on Exhbit 1, the BFI Entities' aggate ta bais in the Class B Common Stock was
$902,561,661. The liabilties do not reuc stck basis because they are excluded under §
357(cX3) and. therefore, § 358(d)(2) applies. Alterntively, the liabilties are not takn into
account under § 358(d) beuse such contigent liilties ar not "liabilties" for federal income
ta purses.
Consequently, as shown on Exbit I, the BFI Entities' sales of the Clas B
Common Stok resulted in an agggate capita loss of $901,660,007 in the 1999 tax yea.
. Claimant's deduction of the capita loss reslti from th sale of the Clas B
Conuon Stock dùrin the 1999 ta year wa disalLowed by the Intern Revenue Service's (the
"Service") examnation te. The disallowace of the capita loss is reflected in Issue 71 of
the
Exaon Report dated May 31,2002 and revise September 3,2002. The dislowace of
the capita loss is incorrt an without merit. Claiant hereby incorprates by reference all
documents, let, scedules, explantions, protests, and other corrspndence on ths isse
supplied to the Service.
As a result of the chages herin Claits tax liabilty is reduce by $-0- or
such greater wnount as is legally refudale.

Please be advised that pursuant to IRS Publication 556, Examination of Returns, Appeal Rights, and Claims for Refund, p.14 (Aug. 2004), and Internal Revenue News Release IR-1600 (Apr. 26, 1976), copies of which are attached, Claimant respectfully requests that the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") immediately reject this claim for refund and promptly issue a notice of claim disallowance. IRS Publication 556 and Internal Revenue News Release IR-1600 provide that a taxpayer fiing claims for refund based on contested tax issues considered
in previously examined returns can request in writing that the claim be immediately rejected.
IRS Publication 556 and Internal Revenue News Release IR-l600 also provide that following the taxpayer's written request for immediate rejection, the Service will promptly send the taxpayer a notice of claim of disallowance.
