Goddard, P.J.
This appeal had its genesis in a real estate
transaction wherein Defendants-Appellants Michael J. Repass and
his wife Pamela S. Repass sold a tract of land to Plaintiff-
Appellee Ray Pleasant. A judgment in favor of Mr. Pleasant in
the amount of $22,224.70 was granted upon the theory that the
Defendants had misrepresented certain material matters in the
sale of the property.
The evidence adduced below was not preserved by a
transcript or statement of the evidence. Under these
circumstances an appellate court must conclusively presume the
evidence was sufficient to justify the judgment. Trane Co. v.
Morrison, 566 S.W.2d 849 (Tenn.1978); Daniel v. Metropolitan
Government, 696 S.W.2d 8 (Tenn.App.1985).
For the foregoing reason the judgment of the Trial
Court is affirmed and the cause remanded for collection of the
judgment and costs below. Costs of appeal are adjudged against
Mr. and Mrs. Repass and their surety.
