[¶ 1] Timothy Scott Robbins appeals from a judgment of conviction of operating under the influence, with two prior convictions in a ten-year period (Class C), 29-A M.R.S. § 2411(1-A)(B)(2) (2011), and operating after suspension (Class E), 29-A M.R.S. § 2412-A(1-A)(D) (2011), entered in Superior Court (Oxford County, Clifford, J.) upon a conditional plea of guilty pursuant to M.R.Crim. P. 11(a)(2). Robbins contends that the trial court erred in denying his motion to strike two prior uncounseled misdemeanor OUI convictions. His argument is based on the docket sheets from his prior convictions, which reflect that he appeared pro se but are silent as to the procedures taken to ensure that his constitutional right to counsel was satisfied.
[¶2] An “appellant bears the burden of providing an adequate record upon which the reviewing court can consider the arguments on appeal.” State v. Milliken,
[¶ 3] The “presumption of regularity” in court proceedings is “deeply rooted in our jurisprudence ... [and] ... attaches to final judgments, even when the question is waiver of constitutional rights.” Parke v. Raley,
[¶ 4] Assuming, without deciding, that Robbins’s motion to strike is the appropriate procedural vehicle to challenge his pri- or convictions in this context, Robbins cannot prevail on this record. With no evidence presented to the contrary, we will presume the regularity that attaches to the final judgment of a conviction, State v. Lewis,
The entry is:
Judgment affirmed.
