Alternatively, Mrs. Badami could have moved, pursuant to FRAP 10(e), to
modify the record. Rule 10(e) provides that, when differences arise as to whether the
record on appeal truly discloses what occurred in the district court, "the difference shall
be submitted to and settled by [the district court]." Again, Mrs. Badami failed to
provide the district court with an opportunity to correct any errors in the record. On
appeal Mrs. Badami requests that, as she tried the case pro se, we forgive her
procedural error. While we are mindful of the difficulties faced by pro se litigants, we
must decline. Absent a record of the proffered evidence and the trial court's reasons
for excluding it, meaningful appellate review is virtually impossible.
