## Opinion text

SNEED, Circuit Judge
(dissenting):
I would grant enforcement of the Board’s order. While I do not disagree with Judge Wright’s statement of the proper standard of review when the Board and the Administrative Law Judge disagree, I do believe that the majority has misapplied the standard. Its scrutiny of the Board’s findings as they relate to the operation of Loomis with replacements and the reopening by Loomis of its Manteca operations results in the substitution of its judgment for that of the Board. “Close scrutiny” should not become the vehicle for ignoring reasonable inferences drawn by the Board from uncontested facts. An inference may be reasonable even though a contrary inference may be equally reasonable.
I respectfully dissent.
