Vogel, Weir, Hunke, and McCormick v. Serbus
No. 20070019
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Terry Serbus appeals from a civil money judgment entered against him, and from a dismissal of his counterclaim with prejudice after a bench trial. On appeal, Serbus argues the district court lacked jurisdiction and erred in its decision. Serbus failed to file an appendix conforming with N.D.R.App.P. 30, and he failed to provide a transcript as required by N.D.R.App.P. 10. “If the record on appeal does not allow a meaningful and intelligent review of the alleged error, we decline to review it.” State v. Stockert , 2004 ND 146, ¶ 13, 684 N.W.2d 605; see also Flattum-Riemers v. Flattum-Riemers , 2003 ND 70, ¶ 8, 660 N.W.2d 558; Wagner v. Squibb , 2003 ND 18, ¶ 5, 656 N.W.2d 674; Sabot v. Fargo Women’s Health Org., Inc. , 500 N.W.2d 889, 892 (N.D. 1993). We conclude Serbus failed to provide us the opportunity to review his claims in a meaningful and intelligent manner. Therefore, we summarily affirm the district court judgment under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(1).
