DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOURTH DISTRICT

BILL BOIVIN, Appellant,

v.

DANIEL BENAYOUN, Appellee.

No. 4D21-695

[November 3, 2021]

Appeal from the County Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; John Hurley, Judge; L.T. Case No. CONO20-018274.

Melissa Dacunha of Law Office of Melissa Dacunha, P.A., Doral, for appellant.

No appearance for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So. 2d 1150, 1152 (Fla. 1979) (holding that “[w]ithout 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,” and “[w]ithout knowing the factual context, neither can an appellate court reasonably conclude that the trial judge so misconceived the law as to require reversal”); Esaw v. Esaw, 965 So. 2d 1261, 1264 (Fla. 2d DCA 2007) (“The most salient impediment to meaningful review of the trial court’s decision is not the absence of findings, but the absence of a transcript.”). See also Plakhov v. Serova, 126 So. 3d 1221, 1223 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012) (where landlord and tenant both failed to comply with the proper statutory notice requirements, they were “free to litigate over their entitlement to the security deposit without leaping any procedural hurdles”).

CONNER, C.J., FORST and KUNTZ, JJ., concur.
