Case No. 5D2024-2439

Decided: November 18, 2025

Kene H. Anusionwu, Windermere, for Appellant. Scott A. Livingston, Livingston Litigation, PLLC, Winter Springs, for Appellee.

Affirmed. See Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So. 2d 1150, 1152 (Fla. 1979) (“In appellate proceedings the decision of a trial court has the presumption of correctness and the burden is on the appellant to demonstrate error․ Without a record of the trial proceedings, the appellate court can not properly resolve the underlying factual issues so as to conclude that the trial court's judgment is not supported by the evidence or by an alternative theory.”); Fortune v. Pantin, 851 So. 2d 274, 275 (Fla. 5th DCA 2003) (explaining that appellate review in the absence of a trial transcript is “limited to errors of law that are apparent on the face of the judgment”).

Per Curiam.

Jay, C.J., and Harris and MacIver, JJ., concur.
