Angela D. Nails, appellant pro se.
Victoria S. Meyer, assistant city prosecutor, for appellee.
Before GREEN, P.J., STANDRIDGE and POWELL, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM.
Angela Nails appeals her conviction for speeding. She argues that she is innocent.
Facts
On December 31, 2013, Officer Marlin Sluder of the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department cited Nails for speeding. According to the citation, she was going 48 miles per hour when the speed limit was 30 miles per hour. She was found guilty in Kansas City, Kansas, Municipal Court on June 6, 2014. She appealed her conviction to Wyandotte County District Court.
The district court held a trial on October 7, 2014. After hearing evidence, it found Nails guilty of speeding. Nails timely appeals the district court's ruling to this court.
On October 10, 2014, Nails filed a request in the district court for the transcript of her trial. On October 20, 2014, however, she filed a document with this court stating that the transcript was not necessary.
Analysis
On appeal, Nails argues that she was not guilty of speeding. This constitutes a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence at trial. But this court is unable to review this issue because Nails did not provide a transcript of the district court proceedings as part of the record on appeal. “The party alleging a trial error has the burden of designating a record that affirmatively shows prejudicial error.” State v. Cervantes–Puentes, 297 Kan. 560, Syl. ¶ 3, 303 P.3d 258 (2013). Not only did Nails fail to provide a transcript of her trial, she informed this court that the transcript was not necessary. It is not possible to resolve her claim that the evidence against her was insufficient to convict her without a record of the evidence that was presented at trial. As a result, we dismiss her appeal.
Dismissed.
