Syllabus

Motion for sanctions, abuse of discretion, record on appeal, presumption of regularity. Plaintiff appealed the trial court's denial of his post-dismissal motion for sanctions for defense counsel's conduct during depositions. Plaintiff and defendant both referenced discussions with the trial court and the trial court's instructions. These proceedings were not contained in the appellate record. Because of the incomplete record, appellate court presumed regularity in the proceedings and could not find the trial court abused its discretion by denying plaintiff's motion for sanctions without holding a hearing.
