of a default against Appellants. Pro-Art Dental Lab, Inc. v. V-
Strategic Group, LLC, 986 So. 2d 1244, 1256, note 10 (Fla. 2008)
(“A default only admits the well-pled allegations of the
corresponding complaint”).
3. Appellants source such citations and characterization of
the relevant underlying facts from a document entitled
“JUDGMENT ON APPLICATION BY THE CROWN FOR THE
DEFENDANT TO BE TRIED IN HIS ABSENCE & PARALLEL DEFENCE
APPLICATION FOR THE DEFENDANT TO BE DEEMED
INVOLUNTARILY ABSENT FROM THE JURISDICTION”, attached by
Appellants as “Exhibit B-4” to their version of the Joint Pretrial
Stipulation. [R. 1448, 1487].
4. Such document was neither attached as an exhibit to
Appellee’s Second Amended Complaint [R. 189-239], nor
admitted by the trial court as an exhibit at the trial on damages
[R. 1563-64].
5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Appellants cite to such
document as well as argue from the conclusions drawn by the
author of such document in numerous places throughout their
Amended Initial Brief (“AIB”) [AIB 2, 5, 6, 7, & 8].
6. “It is axiomatic that appellate review is confined to the
record on appeal. …. That an appellate court may not consider
matters outside the record is so elemental there is no excuse for
an attorney to attempt to bring such matters before the court.”
Thornber v. City of Fort Walton Beach, 534 So. 2d 754, 755 (Fla.
1st DCA 1988).
