                          RULE 5.4                                               
            LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ELECTRONIC RECORD                                  
                                                                                 
    In the event of loss or damage of the electronic record, or any              
significant or material portion thereof, the appellant, upon motion to the       
superior court, shall be entitled to a new trial, but only if the loss or        
damage of the record is not attributable to the appellant's malfeasance. In      
lieu of a new trial, the parties may stipulate to a nonelectronic record as      
provided in rule 6.1(b). The court of limited jurisdiction shall have the        
authority to determine whether or not significant or material portions of        
the electronic record have been lost or damaged, subject to review by the        
superior court upon motion.
