Appeal pursuant to Fla. R. App. P. 9.130 from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County; Melissa M. Polo, Judge.
Ashanda Finegan and Marcia Huff, pro se.
Benjamin B. Brown, Joseph T. Kohn, and Gabriela N. Timis, of Quarles & Brady LLP, Naples, for Appellee U.S. Bank National Association.
No appearance for remaining Appellees.
Ashanda Finegan and her mother, Marcia Huff, appeal the trial court's nonfinal order denying the "Motions to Vacate Final Judgment," filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.540(b) in a foreclosure lawsuit between Ms. Finegan and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee on behalf of the holders of the Home Equity Asset Trust 2006-7 Home Equity Pass Through Certificates, Series 2006-7.

Thus, Ms. Finegan's claim that U.S. Bank lacked standing to seek foreclosure is not permitted under rule 1.540. See id.; see also Phadael v. Deutsche Bank Tr. Co. Ams., 83 So.3d 893, 895 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012) ( . We cannot adequately review the remainder of Ms. Finegan's claims on appeal absent a transcript of the...
