Braaten v. Steinbach9/28/2000
hould have been excluded. It is the responsibility of the appellant to provide the Supreme Court with a complete record on appeal. Rule 9(a), M.R.App.P., provides:
Composition of the record on appeal. The original papers and exhibits filed in the district court, the transcript of proceedings, if any, and a certified copy of the docket entries prepared by the clerk of the district court shall constitute the record on appeal in all cases. It is the duty of a party seeking review of a judgment, order or proceeding to present the supreme court with a record sufficient to enable it to rule upon the issues raised. . . . (Emphasis added.)
Because a record of Steinbach's testimony is not provided to this Court, it is impossible to tell whether she even testified at all, much less determine whether her testimony should have been excluded under the parol evidence rule.
We hold that the District Court did not err in denying the motion in limine. The judgment of the District Court is affirmed.
