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.
