Disposition

• The Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's rulings on the division of community property and debt (para 4).

Reasons

• Judges Timothy L. Garcia, James J. Wechsler, and Linda M. Vanzi concurred in the decision. The Court of Appeals was unpersuaded by the Husband's arguments, finding no basis to conclude that the district court abused its discretion in the allocation of property or in the valuation of the sports memorabilia. The appellate court emphasized the deference given to the district court as the factfinder in matters of property valuation and division, citing precedent that the valuation of community property in a divorce action is determined by the trier of facts, not by an appellate court. The Court of Appeals relied on established case law to support its decision to affirm the district court's rulings (paras 2-4).
