PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. See LPP Mortg. Ltd. v. Bank of Am., N.A., 826 So. 2d 462, 463-
64 (Fla. 3d DCA 2002) (“Whether relief should be granted pursuant to [Florida] Rule
[of Civil Procedure] 1.540 is a fact specific question and the trial court’s ruling
should not be disturbed on appeal absent a gross abuse of discretion.”) (citations
omitted); see also 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. Without
knowing the factual context, neither can an appellate court reasonably conclude that
the trial judge so misconceived the law as to require reversal.”).
