Stearns v. City of Titusville

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Apr 29, 1971
246 So. 2d 641 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1971)

Opinion

No. 70-737.

March 22, 1971. Rehearing Denied April 29, 1971.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Brevard County, John J. Crews, Jr., J.

Charles E. Thomson and Charles M. Rieders, Cocoa Beach, for appellant.

Frank R. Pound of Howell, Kirby, Montgomery, D'Aiuto, Dean Hallowes, Rockledge, for appellee City of Titusville.

John M. Starling of Crofton, Holland, Starling, Titusville, for appellees Shipe and Buckoski.


Appellant-plaintiff, Kenneth Stearns, appeals an order dismissing with prejudice an amended complaint against appellee-defendants, City of Titusville, et al. We affirm.

The record on appeal contains only the amended complaint. It is devoid of any factual allegations, stating only that the allegations of the original complaint (not included in the record) are re-alleged, changing a date and striking the words "fraudulently" and "fraudulent" in several places. Thus, no indication of what the original cause of action was appears from the record.

It is the responsibility and duty of an appellant to provide the appellate court with a record sufficient to review the matter assigned as error. Johnson v. Town of Eatonville, Fla.App. 1967, 203 So.2d 664. The appellant in the instant case has not favored this court with a sufficient record to review the matter assigned as error.

Accordingly, the order appealed is affirmed.

Affirmed.

CROSS, C.J., and WALDEN and OWEN, JJ., concur.
