(A) Any document filed or lodged in the case in superior court; or
(B) A certified transcript-or agreed or settled statement-of oral proceedings not designated under rule 8.130. Unless the court orders otherwise, the appellant is responsible for the cost of any additional transcript the court may order under this subdivision.
(2) A party must attach to its motion a copy, if available, of any document or transcript that it wants added to the record. The pages of the attachments must be consecutively numbered, beginning with the number one. If the reviewing court grants the motion it may augment the record with the copy.

Advisory Committee Comment

Subdivision (a). Subdivision (a)(1) makes it clear that a party may apply for-and the reviewing court may order-augmentation of the record at any time. Whether the motion is made within a reasonable time and is not for the purpose of delay, however, are among the factors the reviewing court may consider in ruling on such a motion.
