    Further, this reasoning is consistent with the policy supporting RAP 7.2(e), which limits the trial court's discretion to act if the trial court's ruling will change a decision that the appellate court is reviewing. Because the appellate court must decide matters based upon the record before the trial court, the consideration of events occurring during the pendency of an appeal would interfere with its ability to conduct a fair and orderly review. See State v. West, 64 Wn. App. 541, 545, 824 P.2d 1266 (1992) (trial court has no authority to sign an order of indigency on a motion filed or served beyond the time allowed for filing a notice of appeal). II.
