Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM:

PER CURIAM:

In these eleven cases, which were consolidated for this hearing, the appellants all filed income tax returns making claims for war tax credits or deductions. The Internal Revenue Service penalized the appellants for filing “frivolous” income tax returns (26 U.S.C. § 6702) for the year 1982. Appellants challenged the assessments in the District Court for the Northern District of California. Judgments in favor of the United States were entered in all cases. For the reasons stated in the opinion in Franklet v. United States, 578 F.Supp. 1552 (N.D.Cal.1984),1 we affirm the judgments.

We note that, since the decision in Franklet, similar results have been reached in Wall v. United States, 756 F. 2d 52 (8th Cir.1985); Kahn v. United States, 753 F. 2d 1208 (3d Cir.1985); and Welch v. United States, 750 F. 2d 1101 (1st Cir.1985). See also Jenney v. United States, 755 F. 2d 1384 (9th Cir.1985).
