PER CURIAM.

Helen Davis appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of

Alberici Corporation and Gary Davis, holding a domestic relations order entered in

connection with the Davis's divorce was not a qualified domestic relations order

(QDRO) as defined by 29 U.S.C. § 1056(d)(3)(D)(ii) of the Employee Retirement

District of Missouri.

Income Security Act. The district court1

 concluded the domestic relations order would

require Alberici to pay Helen benefits in excess of the amount in Gary's retirement

account. Therefore, it violated § 1056(d)(3)(D)(ii)'s prohibition against paying

increased benefits and was not a QDRO. We agree. Because an extended discussion

would add nothing to the well-reasoned order of the district court, we affirm under 8th

Cir. R. 47B.
