P.S. v. Department of Children & Families
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided September 7, 2011 · Hazouri, Levine, Taylor
68 So. 3d 421; 2011 Fla. App. LEXIS 14155; 2011 WL 3903198 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

P.S. v. Department of Children & Families

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

P.S., the father, appeals the final judgment terminating his parental rights as to his three children, contending that the Department did not make reasonable good faith efforts to rehabilitate him and reunify him with his children. The father has not provided this court with a full transcript of the proceedings below. “In the absence of an adequate transcript on appeal, a judgment that is not fundamentally erroneous must be affirmed.” A.L. v. Dep’t of Children & Families, 958 So.2d 606, 607 (Fla. 4th DCA 2007) (citation omitted); see also Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So.2d 1150, 1152 (Fla. 1979). Affir-mance is required in the instant case, as the father seeks to challenge the sufficiency of the evidence and does not allege any error that is apparent on the face of the final judgment.

Affirmed.

TAYLOR, HAZOURI and LEVINE, JJ., concur.
