Chavez v. Garrido, 50 Fla. L. Weekly D1144 (Fla. 3rd DCA May 21, 2025):

The defendant challenged a money judgment entered against her after a non-jury trial, on the basis that the damages awarded were not supported by competent substantial evidence.

However, the defendant failed to provide the court with a transcript, constraining it to affirm. SeeApplegate v. Barnett Bank, 377 So. 2d 1150, 1152 (Fla. 1979).
