When a court record is lost or destroyed, the motion to substitute must demonstrate that there is a faithful, verifiable replacement for the missing material. That means three things must be present: first, a clear identification of exactly which record is lost or destroyed so the court knows what’s being substituted; second, an accurate copy of that record so there is a tangible substitute that mirrors the original; and third, proof that the copy is accurate, such as an affidavit or other certification confirming that the copy faithfully reproduces the original and contains all material contents. Together, these elements ensure the court can rely on the substitute as a true and complete record. The other options don’t meet these requirements because they omit either the necessary copy, the proof of accuracy, or both, or they incorrectly suggest the motion is granted automatically without specifics.
