travel under an unsupported roof and by failing to comply with a 
requirement of its roof control plan to set cribs prior to splitting a 
pillar, and that a separate violation of section 75.220, involving cuts 
of excessive length and a crosscut driven into an area of unsupported 
roof, was the result of the operator's unwarrantable failure to comply 
with its roof plan, and whether the judge erred in vacating a citation 
alleging that the operator improperly operated a scoop loader that 
contained an inoperative methane monitor and in finding that the 
operator did not violate 30 CFR 75.203(b) by failing to use sight lines 
to control the direction of mining).
