Opinion
Case No. 97-0721.
Opinion filed January 21, 1998. JANUARY TERM 1998. Rehearing Denied February 27, 1998.
Appeal of a non-final order from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Harry G. Hinckley, Jr., Judge; L.T. Case No. 96-14035 08.
Howard T. Sutter, Beavercreek, Ohio, for appellant.
John H. Pelzer and Thomas K. Gallagher of Ruden, McClosky, Smith, Schuster Russell, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.
Leonard Lederman appeals the trial court's order denying his motion to vacate a clerk's default. We are unpersuaded that the trial court erred in declining to accept Lederman and his counsel's unsworn "affidavits" as a basis for showing excusable neglect, and therefore affirm.
With regard to the "affidavits," the attestations fail to state that the affiants swore to the truth of the contents, or even took an oath. See Scott v. State, 464 So.2d 1171 (Fla. 1985). Further, appellant has not provided a transcript of the hearing on his motion to set aside the default. He is, thus, unable to establish error. Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So.2d 1150 (Fla. 1979).
AFFIRMED.
DELL, POLEN and GROSS, JJ., concur.
