Thanks steveray.
from the report:
2.1 Stud Shoe Connectors:
"...When the size of the cut, notch, or drill hole exceeds the maximums specified in the code, the Simpson Strong-Tie stud shoes may be used provided an engineered design is submitted in accordance with Section 2301.2 of the IBC or Section R301.1.3 of the IRC, as applicable."
2015 IRC R602.6:
"Exception: Use of approved stud shoes is permitted where they are installed in accordance with the manufacture's recommendations."

Thanks for linking to the report Steveray. That cleared it up for me. And, the bottom line is that the building inspector would have to approve the use of stud shoes regardless. I just thought I'd state the exact wording...
