Chepel v. Swinney
Plaintiff Igor Chepel, representing himself on appeal as he did in the trial court, urges us to reverse a jury verdict in which he lost each of the three causes of action he asserted against his ex-wife’s boyfriend, defendant Chris Swinney. Plaintiff asks us to disregard defendant’s appellate brief for violating filing deadlines. Even if we were to grant plaintiff’s request, it would not solve the fatal deficiency in his appeal—the absence of a sufficient record to support his claims. Without a reporter’s transcript and with only a skeletal clerk’s transcript, we must affirm the judgment.
