A FFIRMED. See Chipchak v. Gauvin, 393 So. 3d 277, 279 (Fla.

otherwise meritorious motion to set aside a judgment, he waived
that argument); see also Pisano v. Mayo Clinic Fla., 333 So. 3d 782,
788 (Fla. 1st DCA 2022) (holding that because the appellants
withdrew their motion for rehearing where new arguments could
be raised, those arguments were not preserved for appeal); and see
Agency for Health Care Admin. v. Orlando Reg’l Healthcare Sys.,
Inc., 617 So. 2d 385, 389 (Fla. 1st DCA 1993) (“It is basic that an
appeal asserting error on the part of a lower tribunal can only be
based on evidence presented to that lower tribunal.”).
