Affirmed. See Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So. 2d 1150, 1152 (Fla. 1979) (holding that appellate courts generally cannot “reasonably conclude that the trial court so misconceived the law as to require reversal ․ without a record of the trial proceedings”); Spaulding v. Spaulding, 326 So. 3d 186, 187 (Fla. 1st DCA 2021) (holding that the appellant waived the claim of fundamental error by not arguing it on appeal).

Per Curiam.

Bilbrey, M.K. Thomas, and Long, JJ., concur.
