Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm
Beach County; Susan R. Lubitz, Judge; L.T. Case No.
502013CA009527XXXMB.
Thomas Erskine Ice of Ice Appellate, Royal Palm Beach, for appellant.
N. Mark New, II and William L. Grimsley of McGlinchey Stafford,
Jacksonville, for appellee Nationstar Mortgage, LLC.
PER CURIAM.
The defendant appeals from the circuit court’s final judgment of
foreclosure following a non-jury trial. We find merit in only the defendant’s
argument that the plaintiff failed to present competent, substantial
evidence to support the award of two account entries in the amounts of
$9,203.67 and $18,439.94, each titled “Escrow Advance,” of which the
plaintiff’s witness lacked knowledge. We therefore reverse only the amount
of damages in the final judgment, which the circuit court, as a ministerial
matter, shall amend to deduct the two entries’ total of $27,643.61,
resulting in an amended final judgment amount of $233,856.74. On all
other arguments which the defendant raises, we affirm without discussion.
Affirmed in part, and reversed in part with instructions.
CIKLIN, C.J., WARNER and GERBER, JJ., concur.

Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.
