The District Court determined that MTAB had not included Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law in the manner and form required and remanded to MTAB for such findings and conclusions.  On September 15, 1997, MTAB issued Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and an Order. Again concluding that MTAB had failed to include Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law as required, the District Court remanded to MTAB once more for appropriate Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. On February 6, 1998, MTAB issued Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and an Order affirming DOR's assessment of additional coal taxes against Decker. Decker petitioned for judicial review. On December 1, 1998, the district court entered an Order and Memorandum affirming MTAB's Third Order. Decker appealed to the Montana Supreme Court, under cause number 99-078, from the district court order. The Supreme Court reversed the district court order on May 9, 2000.
