*30LINDE, J.,
dissenting.
ORS 19.108C1)1 provides that an appellate court faced with an incomplete record can supplement the record on its own motion if it chooses. Since the legislature has provided this means to avoid the irremediable effect of the kind of oversight that seems to have occurred here, I believe a reviewing court should use it whenever identification of the needed material is as simple and uncontroversial as in this case.

ORS 19.108(1):
"When it appears to the court to which the appeal is made.that the record is erroneous or incomplete in any particular substantially affecting the merits of the appeal, on motion of a party or on its own motion the court may make such order to correct or supplement the record as may be just or may dismiss the appeal if the error or omission is without reasonable excuse.” ,
