MARK S. HIDER v. JANE E. HIDER PER CURIAM [¶1] Mark S. Hider appeals from a protection from abuse order entered against him on a complaint filed by his wife, Jane E. Hider, and from the denial of a petition for protection from abuse he filed against Jane, both entered in District Court (Portland, Eggert, J.). Contrary to Mark s contentions, competent evidence exists in the record to support the court s order entered against him. See Smith v. Hawthorne, 2002 ME 149, ¶¶ 15-16, 804 A.2d 1133, 1138-39. In addition, we discern no error in the court s denial of Mark s petition for protection against Jane. See Preston v. Tracy, 2008 ME 34, ¶¶ 10-11, 942 A.2d 718, 720; 19-A M.R.S. § 4006(1) (2007). Finally, we assess sanctions against Mark for his failure to file a complete and appropriate appendix. Sanctions are imposed in the amount of Jane s expenses, including attorney fees, incurred as a result of her having to file a supplemental appendix. See M.R. App. P. 8(c)(2), (g), (j). The entry is: Judgments affirmed. Sanctions imposed against Mark Hider, pursuant to M.R. App. P. 8(j), in the amount of Jane Hider s expenses, including attorney fees, incurred as a result of her having to file a supplemental appendix. 2 Mark S. Hider, pro se: Mark S.
