A construction contractor brought a breach of contract claim in federal court against a homeowner who had hired the contractor t

o build an apartment over an existing garage. The action turned on the scope of the work covered by the contract. The contractor and the homeowner were the only witnesses at the bench trial, and they strongly disagreed about the scope of the work. At the end of the trial, the judge stated findings of fact on the record but never issued a written opinion. Neither party objected to the findings. The judge found in favor of the homeowner, and the contractor appealed. Is the appellate court likely to overturn the findings?

The trial judge should give a written opinion on the matter before the appeal court can delibrate
