      An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Sarah I. Zabel,

     Timothy D. Padgett and Preston C. Davis (Tallahassee), for appellant.

     Alan C. Gold and James I. Parado, for appellee.

Before SUAREZ, C.J., and EMAS and FERNANDEZ, JJ.

     PER CURIAM.

     Appellant Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. appeals entry of

an Amended Final Judgment after bench trial in favor of Appellee Joanna Jayne
Parker on its claim of foreclosure of a home equity line of credit and on Appellee’s

counterclaims of slander of credit, fraud, accounting and breach of contract.

      We affirm judgment in favor of Appellee on the Complaint, but reverse the

judgment on Appellee’s Counterclaims.          Appellee presented no competent

substantial evidence in support of her Counterclaims and the ruling in her favor on

the claims was thus in error.

      Affirmed in part and reversed in part.
