  • Whether the district court violated the Respondent's Second Amendment rights.
  • Whether the Court of Appeals can review decisions made in a related criminal proceeding not subject to the current appeal.

Disposition

  • The Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s divorce order and order on reserved issues.

Reasons

  • Per Linda M. Vanzi, J. (Timothy L. Garcia, J., and J. Miles Hanisee, J., concurring): The Court of Appeals issued a notice proposing to summarily affirm the district court's decisions, which was met with a memorandum in opposition from the Respondent. The Respondent's arguments, including the claim of Second Amendment rights violation and the request for restitution, were considered unpersuasive, primarily due to the failure to demonstrate that these issues were raised at the district court level. The Court of Appeals, adhering to the principle that it cannot review allegations not presented to the district court, affirmed the district court’s decisions based on the proper standard of review and the correctness of the result.
