KEYWORD: Guideline B; Guideline J; Guideline E

DIGEST: The weight assigned to evidence is a matter within the Judge’s discretion.  We will not disturb a Judge’s weighing of the evidence unless it is arbitrary, capricious, or contrary to law. In a whole-person analysis, a Judge should evaluate an applicant’s conduct and circumstances in light of the record as a whole.  We find no error in the Judge’s analysis. Adverse decision affirmed.
