DEISIS DURAN, Appellant,

V.

JOSE DURAN, Appellee.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Osceola County. Laura Shaffer, Judge.

November 6, 2026

PER CURIAM.

AFFIRMED. See 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."); Rodriguez v. State, 919 So. 2d 1252, 1278 (Fla. 2005) ("Litigants . . . have no right

to have any particular judge hear their case."); Tingle v. Dade Cnty. Bd. of Cnty. Comm'rs, 245 So. 2d 76, 78 (Fla. 1971) (“While a judge should hesitate to undo his own work, and should hesitate still more to undo the work of another judge, he does have, until final judgment, the power to do so and may therefore vacate or modify the [i]nterlocutory rulings or orders of his predecessor in the case.").

TRAVER, C.J., and SMITH and PRATT, JJ., concur.

Neyza L. Guzman, of The Law Offices of Neyza L. Guzman, Orlando, for Appellant. Carol B. Shannin and Nicholas A. Shannin, of Shannin Law Firm, P.A., Orlando, for Appellee.
