renumbered. In contrast, the Court’s additional findings of fact
appear in bold type accompanied by supporting citations of the
trial transcript, trial exhibit(s), and/or the parties’ original
posttrial briefs, as appropriate. Our departures from the
recommended findings of fact in the STJ report normally are
marked by a comment either in the text or in the margin
(including appropriate citations of the record). See Ballard v.
Commissioner, 429 F.3d at 1031. Any additions we have made in
the findings of fact portions of this report that do not
constitute findings of fact, such as headings and general
commentary, appear in normal type.
The Opinion portions of this report appear in normal type
and include (1) a summary of the legal analysis set forth in the
STJ report, (2) an evaluation of the credibility determinations
in the STJ report as weighed against the objective evidence drawn
from the entire record, and (3) a discussion and analysis of each
of the issues remaining in dispute.
