SCHAFER, Defendant-Appellee. ____________________________________ No. 8-905 / 08-1590 CHARLES J. SCHAFER, Counterclaim Plaintiff/ Third-Party Plaintiff-Appellee, vs. SOULTS FARMS, INC., Counterclaim Defendant-Appellant, and MARION ROBERT SOULTS and DONALD J. SOULTS, Third-Party Defendants. ____________________________________ No. 8-1065 / 08-1778 MAURENE KLEVEN, Third-Party Plaintiff, vs. MARION ROBERT SOULTS, Third-Party Defendants. ________________________________________________________________ 2 Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Guthrie County, Gary G. Kimes Judge. Appellant appeals a district court ruling denying its petition to correct, modify, or vacate the original ruling. AFFIRMED. Wade Hauser, Des Moines, for appellant, Soults Farms. Randy Hefner of Hefner & Bergkamp, P.C., Adel, and A. Eric Neu, Carroll, for appellee, Charles Schafer. Considered by Vogel, P.J., and Vaitheswaran and Eisenhauer, JJ. 3 VOGEL, P.J. Soults Farms, Inc. appeals the district court’s September 15, 2008 decision denying its petition to correct, modify, or vacate the original ruling, as well as the October 16, 2008 order approving attorney fees. We find nothing in the record to undermine the court’s factual findings, credibility assessments or application of the law in the September 15 ruling, nor an abuse of discretion in the October 16 order. As such, we affirm both the decision and the order without opinion, pursuant to Iowa Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.24(1) and (4). Schafer’s request for attorney fees on appeal is denied. AFFIRMED.
