Decision Date: 
Thursday, September 20, 2012
District: 
2d Dist.
Division/County: 
Lee Co.
Holding: 
Appeal dismissed.
Justice:

Plaintiff never caused clerk to file appellate record, but instead himself filed copies of a selection of documents in case. Absence of certified record is fatal to appeal, as appellate court cannot decide whether it has jurisdiction. (HUTCHINSON and SCHOSTOK, concurring.)
