Affirmed. See Aills v. Boemi, 29 So. 3d 1105, 1108 (Fla. 2010) (holding that error not raised in the trial court is generally not preserved for appellate review); Deutsche Bank Nat'l Tr. Co. v. Avila-Gonzalez, 164 So. 3d 90, 93 (Fla. 3d DCA 2015) (explaining that a hearing pursuant to Kozel v. Ostendorf, 629 So. 2d 817 (Fla. 1993), is not necessary where the sanction is based on the acts of the litigant and not the litigant's counsel); Mercer v. Raine, 443 So. 2d 944, 946 (Fla. 1983) (“[T]o justify reversal [of a discretionary decision refusing to excuse noncompliance with court rules], it would have to be shown on appeal that the trial court clearly erred in its interpretation of the facts and the use of its judgment and not merely that the court, or another fact-finder, might have made a different factual determination.”); Schroeder v. MTGLQ Invs., L.P., 290 So. 3d 93, 95 (Fla. 4th DCA 2020) (holding that it is appellant's burden on appeal to present record evidence demonstrating a trial court's reversible error); Mora v. State, 964 So. 2d 881, 883 (Fla. 3d DCA 2007) (explaining that a party cannot invite error and then complain of it on appeal).
