1. ““ ‘May I indicate, that the docket I gave [defendant’s counsel] is — the best of my knowledge, may be complete, but it does not indicate on that docket as to whether he was robbing a bank or how many banks he robbed during that period of time, or maybe it’s a complete report. It was only given to [defendant’s counsel] as to information that was within a file that was available to us. That report may not have been complete. But I’m not responsible for completeness of record.’ ” Ouimette v. Moran, 541 A.2d 855, 857 (R.I.1988).”
