Watson v. Kight

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Mar 7, 1975
309 So. 2d 24 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1975)

Opinion

No. V-350.

March 7, 1975.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Putnam County, E.L. Eastmoore, J.

John D. Mussoline, Walton, Mussoline Townsend, Palatka, for appellant.

Ronald E. Clark, Palatka, for appellees.


Appellant seeks review of an adverse final judgment rendered in favor of appellees. The principal question preserved on appeal is the sufficiency of the evidence to support the judgment.

In our review of the record we have given due consideration to the applicable appellate principle that a judgment of the trial court reaches the appellate court clothed with a presumption of correctness. Our review of the record reveals that although the testimony is conflicting, there is substantial evidence to support the trial court's judgment. It is not the province of this court to substitute its judgment for that of the trier of the facts. These findings will not be disturbed in the absence of a clear showing that the trial court committed error or that the evidence demonstrates that the conclusions reached are erroneous. The other issues raised by appellant have been examined and are considered insufficient for a reversal. The judgment appealed is accordingly

Affirmed.

BOYER, Acting C.J., and MILLS and McCORD, JJ., concur.
