Heading: morton's cross-appeal

Text: Morton argues that once the 1991 payment was made, he was entitled to an additional attachment order in the amount of $160,000 to cover the amount of the 1991 payment, plus costs and interest. We disagree. Morton had the burden of proof on his motion for additional attachment. We will not disturb the court's denial of the motion unless the evidence submitted in support of it compelled the court to grant it. General Commerce & Indus., Inc., 564 A.2d at 765. When the court calculates the proper amount to be attached, it must take into account other security available to satisfy the judgment. M.R.Civ.P. 4A(c), 4B(c). Morton argues on appeal that the order escrowing the Millers' share of the 1991 lottery payment expired when he withdrew his motion for an injunction and that it was necessary for him to trustee the escrow account, thus reducing by $145,066.66 the amount of attachment on which he could rely as security. As the cross-appellant, however, it is Morton's burden to produce a record adequate for review, Lamb v. Euclid Ambler Assocs., 563 A.2d 365, 367 (Me.1989), and it is far from clear on this record that the escrow order, still valid by its terms, is no longer in full force. Therefore, the court could have concluded that the escrow account in the amount of $145,-066.66 was sufficient other security within the meaning of M.R.Civ.P. 4A(c) and 4B(c), and that it was unnecessary for Morton to trustee that account. Accordingly, the court was not compelled to find that the existing $310,000 attachment was inadequate to secure any judgment Morton was reasonably likely to recover. Town of Eustis v. Stratton-Eustis Dev. Corp., 516 A.2d 951, 953 (Me.1986). The entry is: Judgment affirmed. All concurring.
