Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Celene Gogerty, Judge.  AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED ON APPEAL; AFFIRMED ON CROSS-APPEAL.  Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Ahlers and Buller, JJ.  Opinion by Ahlers, J.  (10 pages)

            Albert Marasco appeals from the decree dissolving his marriage; and Julie Marasco cross-appeals.  Both challenge the district court’s property distribution.  OPINION HOLDS: The district court’s property division was equitable.  However, it inadvertently attributed some non-marital assets to the marital estate and accidentally included a retirement account that the parties agree does not exist.  We modify the property division to account for these discrepancies while otherwise maintaining the district court’s division of property.  We decline to award Julie appellate attorney fees.
