Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Zarate v. Deutsche Bank Nat’l Tr. Co. as Tr., 81 So. 3d 556, 558 (Fla. 3d DCA 2012) (“Where there is no record of the testimony of witnesses or of evidentiary rulings, and where a statement of the record has not been prepared pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.200(a)(3) or (b)(3), a judgment which is not fundamentally erroneous on its face must be affirmed.”); Johnson v. Deutsche Bank Nat’l Tr. Co. Americas, 248 So. 3d 1205, 1211 (Fla. 2d DCA 2018) (“[P]resenting an adequate record—one that demonstrates not only what evidence was presented below but also which arguments were preserved—remains the appellant’s burden in an appeal of a summary judgment.”); 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.”); Kohn v. City of Miami Beach, 611 So. 2d 538, 539 (Fla. 3d DCA 1992) (“We conclude that it is a mistake to hold a pro se litigant to a lesser standard than a reasonably competent attorney.”).
