Foll owing a jury tr ial in t he Circ uitCourt ofCoffee Co unty, th e D efen dan t, Arthur Edward Chandler , was conv ict ed of DUI, 3rd offense, dri vi ng on a rev oked li cense, resi sti ng arr est, and was foun d by th e trial co urt to be in v iol ati on of t he impli ed consent law. The tri al court sent enc ed De fendantto serve el even (11) mont hs , twenty-ni ne (29) days f or t he DUI convi cti on, suspen ded aft er one hundred and tw enty (12 0) days inca rcera tion in th e C offee Co unty J ail, thirty (30) days incarcerat ion on the conv ict ion for dri vi ng on a rev oked li cense, to be serv ed co nc urre ntly with th e D UI s ente nce , and sen tenc ed h im to ser ve s ix(6) months in the Co ffee Co un ty Ja il forthe conv ict ion ofresi sti ng arr est. The sentence for resi sti ng arres t was orde red to be s erve d co nse cutive ly to the sen tenc e for D UI, 3rd off ense.

In th is ap pe al, pursuantto R ule 3, T en ne sse e R ule s of Ap pe lla t e Procedure , t he Defendant argues that th e trial co urt erre d by o rder ing c ons ecu ti ve sentenci ng and by i mp os ing the maxi mum six(6) month sentenc e forthe conv ict ion ofresi sti ng arre st.
The record in t his appeal is s parse. Itconsi sts onl y ofthe document s fi led with the trial c ou rt cle rk, in clu din g b ut n ot lim it ed to th e arrest warrants, indictm ent, judgments, motion fornew tr ial , not ice ofappeal, and desi gnati on of record. The onl y t rans cri pt i s ofthe sent enci ng hear ing wh erei n no p roofwas off ered other t han a presentence rep ort c on tain ing the De fen da nt’s pri or cr iminal-3-

Itis the d uty of th e A ppe llant to have pr epared an adequat e record in order to all ow a meaningful revi ew on a ppe al. T.R .A.P . 24(b ); State v.
