No. 1D20-1742
_____________________________
DOMINIC ADDISON,
Appellant,
v.
FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF
REVENUE and ASHLEE DANIELLE
PUSEY,
Appellees.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Division of Administrative Hearings.
Lynne A. Quimby-Pennock, Administrative Law Judge.
July 20, 2021
PER CURIAM.
AFFIRMED. See Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377
So. 2d 1150, 1152 (Fla. 1979) (holding that on appeal, the decision
of the lower tribunal “has the presumption of correctness,” the
appellant bears the burden “to demonstrate error,” and “the lack
of a trial transcript or a proper substitute” forecloses reversal); see
also Lafaille v. Lafaille, 837 So. 2d 601, 604 (Fla. 1st DCA 2003)
(explaining that a lower tribunal’s findings and final judgment
“cannot be disturbed absent a record demonstrating reversible
error,” and that the appellant has the burden to present the
reviewing court “with an adequate record to support his appeal”);
Moore v. Moore, 512 So. 2d 1141, 1141 (Fla. 1st DCA 1987)
(affirming child support determination because the record did not
“contain a transcript of the hearing resulting in the order
appealed” nor a statement of evidence or proceedings pursuant to
Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.200(b)).
ROWE, C.J., and ROBERTS and TANENBAUM, JJ., concur.
_____________________________
Not final until disposition of any timely and
authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
9.331.
