District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Derek GRIFFIN, Appellant, v. Angela GRIFFIN, Appellee.

No. 1D21-1754

Decided: February 15, 2023

Derek Griffin, pro se, Appellant. No appearance for Appellee.

“[T]he burden is on the appellant to make reversible error appear.” Snowden v. Wells Fargo Bank, 172 So. 3d 506, 507 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015) (quoting Pan Am. Metal Prod. Co. v. Healy, 138 So.2d 96 (Fla. 3d DCA 1962). Appellant's limited briefing in this case fails to satisfy this burden. “[L]eniency in construing [pro se] pleadings does not allow a court to re-draft the substance of a claim.” James v. Crews, 132 So. 3d 896, 899 (Fla. 1st DCA 2014). We therefore Affirm.

Per Curiam.

Bilbrey, Winokur, and Long, JJ., concur.
