PORRES v. Hernandez
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided September 30, 2009 · Shepherd, Suarez, Rothenberg
19 So. 3d 434; 2009 Fla. App. LEXIS 14503; 2009 WL 3101059 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

PORRES v. Hernandez

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Ada Porres, defendant below, appeals a final judgment evicting her from her occupancy of a single-family residence in Miami-Dade County and also awarding the plaintiffs, Mark Hernandez and Cecilia Jorge, damages in the amount of $134,500 for Porres’ breach of contract for purchase of the property. Based upon a proper confession of error by Hernandez and Jorge, we reverse the damage award. We affirm on all other issues raised. 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.”).

Reversed and remanded with directions to enter an amended final judgment omitting the damage award.
