Winzoir Van Durr appeals pro se from a judgment in favor of Kator & Scott, Chartered, in the latter’s breach of contract suit against him for unpaid legal bills. Van Durr complains of the conduct of the trial, alluding to the improper introduction of allegedly manufactured evidence, the admission of hearsay and related rulings of the court. In addition, Van Durr contends that the trial court wrongly permitted Kator & Scott to disobey a court order to furnish discovery. Kator & Scott denies Van Durr’s allegations and argues that they have no support in the record before us.

We are unable to reach the merits of any of Van Durr’s contentions. We must affirm the judgment of the trial court because Van Durr has not presented us with a record sufficient to show affirmatively that the trial court committed any error. In particular, Van Durr chose not to order and include in the record on appeal a transcript of the trial or other proceedings at which the court may have addressed the issues that he would have us consider. Upon taking this appeal, Van Durr filled out a Designation of Record and Statement Regarding Transcript, in which he declined to order a transcript and checked a box to state that he considered “no transcript necessary for appeal.”
