Text: Based upon the foregoing stipulated facts, the district court determined that although Jacobson was a `solid waste generator,' SWANN had no authority to regulate Jacobson or his solid waste because Jacobson had taken the steps required by § 13-2020(4) to exempt himself from SWANN's charges by providing evidence that he disposed of his solid waste at an alternate facility. The court further held that a portion of SWANN's rules and regulations requiring specific proof to exempt a solid waste generator from SWANN's charges was unreasonable and therefore invalid. Based upon these determinations, the district court concluded that Jacobson was not liable to SWANN for any fees or charges it sought to collect, and entered judgment in favor of Jacobson. SWANN perfected this timely appeal, which we moved to our docket on our own motion pursuant to our statutory authority to regulate the caseloads of the appellate courts of this state. See Neb. Rev.Stat. § 24-1106(3) (Reissue 1995).
