Opinion

Johnson, Chief Judge.

This is an appeal from a dispossessory action in which the trial court ordered a writ of possession on behalf of Brook Property, Inc. and awarded Brook Property $700 in unpaid rent and court costs. While Annie Lowe’s pro se appellate brief describes the events leading up to the dispossessory as well as the actions taken by the trial court, it does not contest any ruling of the trial court. Lowe merely asks that we reconsider the decision made by Brook Property to refuse acceptance of her late rent. Since we are a court of law for the correction of legal errors committed by the trial court, Lowe’s factual assertion presents nothing for review.¹ Moreover, while a bench trial regarding the dispossessory was held, Lowe has failed to provide this Court with a transcript of the proceedings. Accordingly, we must assume that the trial court’s judgment below was correct and affirm.² Consequently, we hereby affirm the trial court’s order and judgment granting Brook Property a writ of possession and awarding it $700 in unpaid rent plus court costs.

Judgment affirmed.
