Alberici Corp. v. Helen E. Davis
Alberici Corp. v. Helen E. Davis
Opinion
Helen Davis appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Alberici Corporation and Gary Davis, holding a domestic relations order entered in connection with the Davis’s divorce was not a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO) as defined by 29 U.S.C. § 1056(d)(3)(D)(ii) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The district court 1 concluded the domestic relations order would require Alberici to pay Helen benefits in excess of the amount in Gary’s retirement account. Therefore, it violated § 1056(d)(3)(D)(ii)’s prohibition against paying increased benefits and was not a QDRO. We agree. Because an extended discussion would add nothing to the well-reasoned order of the district court, we affirm under 8th Cir. R. 47B.
. The Honorable Carol E. Jackson, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri.
