Text: This case involves an appeal from a decision of a magistrate judge, acting as a trial judge sitting without a jury, which was affirmed on appeal to the district court. In Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center v. Board of Com'rs of Bonneville County, Idaho, 122 Idaho 241, 244, 833 P.2d 99, 102 (1992), this Court held that `[s]ince the district court was acting in its appellate capacity, in the appeal to this Court we can review the record independently of the district court's decision ...,' quoting Ferguson v. Board of County Com'rs, 110 Idaho 785, 788, 718 P.2d 1223, 1226 (1986).
