defendants/counter-plaintiffs below, appeal entry of final summary judgment of
foreclosure and reformation in favor of the plaintiff/counter-defendant below,

foreclosure and remand with directions for the trial court to receive the original
promissory note in evidence, after which the lower court will be authorized to
reconfirm the final judgment. See Figueredo v. Bank Espirito Santo, 537 So. 2d
1113, 1113 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989). We affirm the final judgment in all other respects.
Affirmed in part; reversed in part and remanded with instructions.
