There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.

intended to purchase the entire 9.69 acre parcel described in the purchase and sale agreement. These findings have support in the record. Based on the evidence, the trial court could reasonably have been persuaded that it was highly probable that the parties operated under a mutual mistake as to the description in the deed. [ 18] Roger also argues that the doctrine of merger by deed prohibits reformation. "The doctrine of merger by deed provides that once a ... deed is accepted it becomes the final statement of the agreement between the parties and nullifies all provisions of the purchase-and-sale agreement." Bryan, 665 A.2d at 1022 (quotation marks omitted). Merger by deed, however, does not prohibit reformation upon proof of a mutual mistake of fact at the time of closing. Cf. id. (<HOLDING>). C. Joint Accounts [ 19] Roger contends that
Holding statements: (A) holding that because the purchase price typically is not included in the deed this term of the contract of sale is not merged with the deed (B) holding in part that party seeking reformation of deed must show the original intent or agreement of parties by clear and convincing evidence (C) holding merger by deed prohibits reformation when one of the parties learns of a mistake before closing and still signs the deed (D) holding that a beneficiary under a deed of trust was entitled to reformation of the grantors deed (E) recognizing that the right to seek reformation of a deed is limited to the original parties to the deed and their successors in title

(3) Dr. Hickman's observation that Seever's surgeries, residual pain, and physical limitations "have taxed his psychological coping abilities," ApltApp. at 372. But Dr. Hick man interpreted this information as presenting no more than a slight impairmentmeaning that he could still function wellas to understanding, remembering, and carrying out detailed instructions, and he declined to identify any other mental capabilities affected by Seever's depression. We will not fault the ALJ for failing to interpret Seever's symptoms and test results differently than Dr. Hickman. See Winfrey v. Chater, 92 F.3d 1017, 1022 (10th Cir.1996) (observing that an ALJ may not substitute his lay opinion for a medical opinion); Hamilton v. Sec'y of Health & Human Servs., 961 F.2d 1495, 1500 (10th Cir.1992) (<HOLDING>). Nor are we convinced that the ALJ should have

attempt to resolve it). While the record does not reveal the bankruptcy court's reasons for denying relief from the injunction, the district court's opinion affords some guidance. In upholding the bankruptcy court's refusal to relax the injunction, that court cited the substantial delay in the liquidation of BRMC that this litigation already had caused and concluded that, in all events, any proceeding brought by the churches in the probate court likely would be a waste of time. BRMC III, 2004 WL 1778881, at *5-*6 & n. 12. Although the matter is far from clear, we assume, for argument's sake, that the probate court retains the authority, even at this late date, to modify its decree confirming Ms. Krauss's estate plan. Cf. O'Brien v. Dwight, 363 Mass. 256, 294 N.E.2d 363, 380-81 (1973) (<HOLDING>). Even so, the mere fact that relief which is
Holding statements: (A) holding that probate courts have the continuing power to revoke or modify their decrees but suggesting that such action would only be appropriate in limited circumstances (B) holding that the power to terminate a contract atwill subsumes the power to modify its terms (C) recognizing district courts power to admit evidence for a limited purpose (D) holding that the recognition power is not limited to a determination of the government to be recognized but rather includes the power to take actions without which the power of recognition might be thwarted (E) holding that consent decrees and orders should be construed as contracts
