AFFIRMED.

Per Curiam.

Brandt v. Brandt

[¶1] Deb Brandt, now known as Deb Hornbacher, appeals and Donald Brandt cross- appeals from a divorce judgment distributing the parties’ marital property.  Brandt also cross-appeals from an order denying his post-judgment motion for relief from the judgment and awarding Hornbacher $500 in attorney fees.  We conclude the district court did not clearly err in distributing the parties’ marital property and did not abuse its discretion in denying Brandt’s post-judgment motion.  We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (4).
