MILLER, J.

Appellant, Taylor Londres, appeals from a final judgment in favor of appellee, Ulysses Leid.

A careful review of the undeveloped record before us reveals that the judgment followed on the heels of a one-hour bench trial. Because there is no transcript of the trial and Londres did not move for rehearing or seek to proceed under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.200(b)(5), the record is devoid of any showing of reversible error. 1 See Applegate v.

Affirmed.
