It is the appellant's obligation to assemble a proper record on appeal. The record on appeal must contain all of the relevant papers before the Supreme Court. An appeals that is not based on a complete and proper record must be dismissed.
Here, the record failed to include the exhibits allegedly demonstrating that the plaintiff's former counsel was involved in a fraud scheme. Furthermore, the record does not contain a copy of the complaint, the amended complaint, or the defendant's answer. Since these omissions have rendered meaningful appellate review of the court's order virtually impossible, the appeal must be dismissed
