PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. See Williams v. Jessica L. Kerr, P.A., 271 So. 3d 82, 83 (Fla. 3d DCA 2019) (“It is well established that the party seeking appellate review has the burden of providing the court with an adequate record of the proceedings in the lower tribunal.” (quotation omitted)); Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So. 2d 1150, 1152 (Fla. 1979) (“Without a [complete] 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.”); Taylor v. Bateman, 927 So. 2d 1024, 1026 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006) (“Such record omissions are fatal to an appeal.”).
