Heading: Issue Four: Did the District Court abuse its discretion in requiring Schindlers to order and pay for additional transcripts?

Text: ¶ 34 Schindlers, as the appellants, had a duty to provide this Court with `a record sufficient to enable it to rule upon the issues raised.' Heidt, ¶ 19 (quoting M.R.App. P. 8(2)). Pursuant to Montana Rule of Appellate Procedure 8(3)(b), USAA, as appellee, was permitted to move the District Court for an order requiring Schindlers to order additional transcripts. Id. ¶ 35 Our consideration of the trial transcript was necessary in order to rule upon the issues Schindlers raised. Accordingly, the District Court did not abuse its discretion in ordering additional transcripts.
