IN RE THE MARRIAGE OF RONALD WAYNE BEASLEY, APPELLANT,
v.
CORRIE GAIL BEASLEY, APPELLEE

Fla. 5th DCA | 1985-02-21
No. 83-1327
FRANK D. UPCHURCH, Jr., and SHARP, JJ., concur.
463 So. 2d 1248 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fifth District (1985) Caution
Cited by 15 cases


Opinion of the Court
DAUKSCH, Judge.

DAUKSCH, Judge.

This is an appeal in a marriage dissolution case. Although appellant presents a compelling argument for the reversal or modification of an alimony award he has not furnished this court with a transcript of the evidence taken at trial which led to the court’s decision. Financial affidavits, without supporting testimony, are not sufficient for our review of a case. Unless this court is provided with all of the evidence which was before the trial court, either by a transcript of testimony or a stipulated statement, then we cannot fault and reverse a trial judge for a purported error. Appeals such as this shall be subject to summary dismissal in the future, and motions for attorney’s fees pursuant to section 57.105, Florida Statutes, will be favorably entertained.

AFFIRMED.

FRANK D. UPCHURCH, Jr., and SHARP, JJ., concur.

Since we have not been provided with a record sufficient to review these points, either by transcript or stipulated statement, we cannot say the trial court erred in awarding damages to the Harpers. See Beasley v. Beasley, 463 So. 2d 1248 (Fla. 5th DCA 1985); Gordon v. Burke, 429 So. 2d 36 (Fla. 2d DCA), petition for review denied, 438 So. 2d 832 (Fla.1983); Starks.

An appellate court has no obligation to afford the appellant a second opportunity to create an entire transcript because he ignored the rule when the record on appeal was being prepared. See Beasley v. Beasley, 463 So. 2d 1248 (Fla. 5th DCA 1985). Finally, Copeland is of no help to appellant either. In that case, the appellants “made a conscientious effort to reconstruct the record.” 372 So. 2d at 1150. Appellant here has made no such effort. See Jackson v. State, 308 So…
