Rosen v. Singh
Glenn M. Rosen, attorney for plaintiff Robin Rosen, appeals from the August 29, 2011[1] order of the superior court imposing sanctions upon him in the amount of $3,000 pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 128.7. We affirm the order.
Following our initial review of the record and Rosen’s opening brief, we notified Rosen by letter that it appeared the record did not include all the documents relating to the sanctions order, nor a reporter’s transcript of the hearing on the order to show cause re sanctions for purposes of appellate review. In response, Rosen submitted a reporter’s transcript of the sanctions hearing. This court augmented the record to include the reporter’s transcript submitted by Rosen. In his letter, Rosen also represented he could provide copies of the amended complaint and a response to a demurrer. This court granted Rosen an additional ten days to file a further motion to augment, although no motion has been received.
The record on appeal is inadequate for appellate review. The record does not contain any of the pleadings that were the basis of the sanctions order. In particular, the record lacks the operative complaint, the demurrer, the response to the demurrer, and the trial court’s order to show cause. These documents are necessary for resolution of Rosen’s appeal
