Representing Appellant: Raymond D. Macchia and Juliana Hernandez of Macchia & Associates, Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Facts/Discussion: The Court rejected Husband?s contention of error for the reason that he failed to provide an adequate record to permit rational review of the district court?s decision.

Affirmed.
