Heading: Motion to Supplement Record

Text: Finally, McIntosh asserts that he should have been permitted to supplement the record with a copy of a May 2002 letter prepared by Partridge recommending McIntosh for a position as an officer in the U.S. Naval Reserve that was never tendered to the district court. Appellees opposed the motion and it was denied initially by the Clerk under 5th Cir. Local Rule 27.1.11 and again by the order of a single circuit judge on September 17, 2007. [17] As a general rule, this court will not enlarge the record on appeal with evidence not before the district court. Trinity Indus., Inc. v. Martin, 963 F.2d 795, 799 (5th Cir.1992). McIntosh has not provided sufficient justification to depart from this general rule. Therefore, his August 20, 2007 motion to supplement the record was properly denied.
