IN RE: The Paternity of H.M.H. (2019)

MEMORANDUM DECISION

[1] Brian Garrett appeals the trial court's order denying what Garrett states was a petition to establish paternity and for visitation. We have no way of reviewing the petition because Garrett did not file an appendix.

[2] The trial court summarily denied Garrett's petition, stating that “there are no legal grounds for granting the relief requested by [Garrett] because of the standing adoption order.” Appealed Order.³ We have no way of reviewing this order because we have neither an appendix nor salient facts to consider.

[3] Garrett states that his parental rights have been terminated but that he was not provided with notice of those proceedings. He also references grandparent visitation rights as support for his request to establish paternity but does not explain why grandparent visitation rights are relevant. We have no way of reviewing these arguments because there is no record to review.

[4] As Garrett has failed to provide us with either an understandable statement of facts explaining the nature of the case and his claims or the documents needed to review his claims, we affirm.

[5] The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
