JACQUES v. NARVAEZ

An appellant is obliged to assemble a proper record on appeal including the transcript, if any, of the proceedings ( see CPLR 5526; Rules of App Div, 1st Dept [22 NYCRR] § 600.5). The pro se appellant's failure to include the trial transcript in the record before us renders meaningful appellate review of this matter impossible ( see Matter of Allstate Ins. Co. v Vargas, 288 AD2d 309, 310).
