Ralph L. Romshek and Betty J. Romshek v‪.‬

The defendants appeal from a mandatory injunction entered against them by the district court, an order directing a prospective
monetary penalty, and a judgment for damages in favor of the plaintiffs. In an appeal of an action in equity, this court tries the factual issues raised by the appellant's assignments of error de
novo on the record and reaches its Conclusions independent of the findings of the trial court; however, where credible evidence
is in conflict on material issues of fact, this court may consider and give weight to the fact that the trial Judge heard
and observed the witnesses and accepted one version of the facts rather than another. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-1925
(Reissue 1989); Uhing v. City of Oakland, 236 Neb. 58, 459 N.W.2d 187 (1990).
