Overview: Where the order referred to in appellant's notice of appeal made no reference to which postconviction petition filed by appellant that it was denying, the court was forced to affirm the trial court's judgment because appellant did not meet his burden of bringing up a record sufficient to demonstrate that the trial court was in error.
