Rule 10(a) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure
provides that the record on appeal is generally limited to
the original papers and exhibits filed in the lower court.
See also Wegn,er Mfg., Inc. v. Coating Mach. Sys., Inc., 239
F.3d 1225, 1236 n. 2 (Fed. Cir. 2001). The documents

before the United States Court of Federal Claims. Because
they were not presented below, their submission to this
court is improper. Ballard Med. Pr0ds. v. Wright, 821 F.2d
642, 643 (Fed. Cir. 1987).
