Text: [¶ 2] Billings presents this statement of the issues: A. Did the Wyoming Board of Outfitters and Professional Guides (Board) make adequate findings of fact in its order revoking the Appellant's outfitting license to show that it weighed conflicting evidence and made a reasoned decision sufficient to permit judicial review of the Board's reasoning? B. Upon judicial review of the entire record is there substantial evidence showing that the Board met its burden to prove its case with clear and convincing evidence? C. Did the Board properly promulgate regulations containing adequate objective standards to permit judicial review of the agency's conclusions of law in its order? D. Did the Board exceed its statutory authority when it promulgated regulations which expand the reach and effect of the regulations upon the Appellant beyond the clear meaning of the authorizing statute? E. Did the Board fail to comply with the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act when it incorporated Federal Regulations by reference in the absence of the procedures required by W.S. § 16-3-103(h)? F. Did the Board violate the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act and constitutional notice requirements when it found Appellant violated certain regulations which it did not allege in its complaint? G. In the event that the Court upholds any of the Board's factual findings and corresponding regulations, did the Board adequately explain how it applied its findings of fact to the law so as to permit judicial review of the Board's ultimate legal conclusions? H. Is Appellant entitled to judgment declaring that certain provisions in the outfitters act and the Board's commensurate regulations are constitutionally void for vagueness and over breadth in accordance with the Declaratory Judgments Act? I. Is Appellant entitled to judgment declaring that the Board has not been properly been [sic] delegated authority to adjudicate matters properly devoted to the jurisdiction of the Courts or other agencies? As appellee, the Board articulates this statement of the issues: I. Whether the decision of the Wyoming State Board of Outfitters and Professional Guides revoking Appellant's license was proper under Wyo. Stat. § 16-3-114. II. Whether Appellant improperly used the statement of facts portion of his brief for legal argument in violation of the Wyoming Rules of Appellate Procedure. III. Whether the Appellant's complaint for declaratory judgment was improperly joined with Appellant's petition for relief.
