Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

AFFIRMED. Appellant, Lisa Dowd, alleges that the trial court erred in denying her Page 1 of 1 [*1] Emergency Motion to Continue Trial Hearing Set for October 15, 2014, because the court failed to respond to her request for Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") accommodations or to provide her with reasonable accommodations. There is no transcript of the October 15, 2014 hearing where the trial court denied the motion. Without a transcript of the hearing, we are unable to review what evidence or arguments were presented by the parties. Therefore, we cannot conclude that the trial court erred by denying the motion. See Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So. 2d 1150 (Fla. 1979). Under these circumstances, this Court in its appellate capacity must assume the trial court correctly decided the issues. Crusaw ν. Crusaw, 637 So. 2d 949, 949 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994). Accordingly, we are constrained by the lack of an adequate record, and must affirm the final judgment. See Applegate, 377 So. 2d 1150.
