Text: Littlewind next argues that it was an abuse of the trial court's discretion to assess costs for his failing to appear for jury trial scheduled on March 18. Littlewind has provided no transcript of any relevant proceedings. We have said that a party claiming that the trial court erred on factual matters must present and point out evidence in the record supporting the contention. Owan v. Kindel, 347 N.W.2d 577, 579 (N.D.1984). Unless the record allows for meaningful and intelligent review of an alleged error, we will decline to review. Sykeston Township v. Wells County, 356 N.W.2d 136 (N.D.1984), quoting Bye v. Elvick, 336 N.W.2d 106 (N.D.1983). The record establishes only that the court declared Littlewind's bail bond forfeited because of Littlewind's failure to appear. We find no abuse of discretion in this regard.
