Issues: Appellant's Statement of the Issues:
1) Could a reasoning mind reasonably have determined, based on a preponderance of the evidence, that as of June 25, 1997, Elshaug did not continue to suffer symptoms from her work injury of November 4, 1996?
2) Was the Bureau's conclusion of law that as of June 25, 1997, Claimant was not entitled to further benefits for the work injury of November 4, 1996, supported by its findings of fact?
3) Could a reasoning mind reasonably have determined, based on a preponderance of the evidence, that Elshaug did not establish a significant change in her medical condition after June 25, 1997, that was attributable to the work injury of November 4, 1996?
4) Did the District Court err as a matter of law in making independent findings of fact and substituting its judgment for that of the Bureau?
