Hageness v. Slaubaugh

No. 20160161



Per Curiam.

[¶1]	Shirley Hageness appeals from a judgment dividing ownership of real property located in Pierce County.  
Margaret Hageness, Patricia Slaubaugh, and Shirley Hageness each owned an undivided one-third interest in real property, as tenants in common.  Margaret Hageness brought a partition action against Slaubaugh and Shirley Hageness, requesting the court divide the property among the three parties.  
Various documents were filed in the action by individuals who were not a party to the action, including a deed purporting to transfer Slaubaugh’s interest in the property to Shirley Hageness.  Shirley Hageness, Slaubaugh, and Margaret Hageness jointly moved to strike the documents and requested the court find the deed was a fraudulent conveyance.  The district court granted the motion.  The parties reached an agreement to divide the property, and the court ordered the property be divided in accordance with the agreement.  Shirley Hageness argues the district court erred in granting the motion to strike the documents from the record, ordering the deed was a fraudulent conveyance, and failing to include the transfer of the property in the judgment.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(1).
