2021(Ketchum v. Moses (2001) 24 Cal.4th 1122, 1140-1141 .) But while it is the appellant’s responsibility to provide a record that is adequate for appellate review of his claims (see Ballard v. Uribe (1986) 41 Cal.3d 564, 574 ) it is unacceptable for either party to trifle with the courts or waste this court’s time. 4 “When practicing appellate law, there are at least three immutable rules: first, take great care to prepare a complete record; second, if it is not in the record, it did not happen; and third, when in doubt, refer back to rules one and two.” (Protect Our Water v.
