WATTS v. THE STATE.

MILLER, Judge.

Jerry Watts appeals from his convictions for violations of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act. However, in his notice of appeal, Watts did not request that a trial transcript be included as part of the appellate record, nor did he request any records relating to his sentencing. Indeed, he requested only that the indictment and final disposition be included in the appellate record. The absence of the trial and sentencing transcripts makes it impossible for this Court to review Watts's various enumerations of error concerning factual merger, double jeopardy, and improper sentencing. Cf. Kegler v. State, 267 Ga. 147, 148(3) ( 475 S.E.2d 593) (1996). "It is the burden of the complaining party, including pro se appellants, to compile a complete record of what happened at the trial level, and when this is not done, there is nothing for the appellate court to review." (Citation and punctuation omitted.) Farris v. State, 236 Ga. App. 241, 241 ( 511 S.E.2d 601) (1999). Accordingly, we affirm.

Judgment affirmed. Blackburn, C. J., and Johnson, P.J., concur.

MILLER, Judge.
