Malvin Garnett,
Appellant,
vs.
Priscille Duvalsaint,
Appellee.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Marlene
Fernandez-Karavetsos, Judge.
Malvin Garnett, in proper person.
Priscille Duvalsaint, in proper person.
Before LINDSEY, GORDO and BOKOR, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Malvin Garnett appeals several orders of the trial court. To the extent
the orders are nonfinal, we dismiss the appeal as to those orders. To the
extent the orders are final or otherwise appealable, Garnett has provided no
transcript or record of the trial court proceedings or otherwise demonstrated
any possible error that could provide a preliminary basis for reversal. See
Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So. 2d 1150, 1152 (Fla. 1979)
(“Without 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.”); Garnett v. Duvalsaint, 400 So. 3d 682, 683 (Fla. 3d DCA 2024)
(“Malvin Garnett (‘Father’) appeals the trial court’s order denying his motion
to vacate the recommended order of a general magistrate . . . . The Father,
proceeding pro se below and on appeal, challenges the trial court’s referral
of all issues of child support to the general magistrate . . . . Because we
cannot conclude on this record that the trial court abused its discretion, we
affirm.”). We therefore affirm as to those orders.
Affirmed in part; dismissed in part.
