Ford T. JOHNSON, Jr., Plaintiff-Appellant, v. UNITED STATES of America, Defendant-Appellee, 50 F. App'x 113

OPINION PER CURIAM. Ford T. Johnson, Jr., appeals from the district court’s order granting

summary judgment to the United States on Johnson’s claim for refund of the 100% penalty assessed against him under 26 U.S.C. § 6672 (2000), and the United States’ counterclaim for the remainder of the penalty, for the third and fourth quarters of 1994 and the first quarter of 1995. We have reviewed the record, including the district court’s opinion, as well as the parties’ briefs and find no reversible error. The evidence before the district court established that Johnson “willfully” failed to pay over the payroll taxes at issue, within the meaning of § 6672. See Plett v.

United States, 185 F.3d 216 (4th Cir.1999). To the extent that Johnson challenges the government’s alleged attempts to double-collect the unpaid taxes at issue, the district court’s opinion clearly states that “no double recovery ... shall be permitted.” Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Johnson v. United States, No. CA-98-3050-S (D.Md. Jan. 29, 2002). 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. AFFIRMED.
