    In re Terrence OWENS, Debtor, Terrence Owens, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. GMAC Mortgage, LLC, as Servicer for U.S. Bank National Association as Trustee for Ramp 2005EFC1, Defendant-Appellee.
    No. 12-15142
    Non-Argument Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    April 29, 2013.
    Terrence Owens, Riverdale, GA, pro se.
    Matthew R. Brooks, Alexandria J. Reyes, Troutman Sanders, LLP, Atlanta, GA, for Defendant-Appellee.
    Before TJOFLAT, PRYOR and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Terrence Owens, proceeding pro se, appeals the district court’s order affirming the bankruptcy court’s grant of relief from the automatic stay and grant of in rem relief to GMAC Mortgage, LLC (GMAC). After thorough review, we affirm.

Owens filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy in 2011. The filing automatically stayed collection on Owens’s outstanding debt, including a stay of foreclosure proceedings on a home owned by Owens. GMAC, the servicer for Owens’s mortgage holder, moved for relief from the stay and for in rem relief on the home in order to begin state-court foreclosure proceedings. The bankruptcy court held a hearing on the matter and subsequently issued an order granting GMAC both forms of relief for “reasons stated on the record in open court.” Owens appealed to the district court, but did not request a transcript of the bankruptcy court hearing. The district court affirmed the bankruptcy court’s decision, GMAC foreclosed, and Owens now appeals.

Owens asserts that the bankruptcy court erred in granting both in rem relief and relief from the automatic stay. “If the appellant intends to urge on appeal that a finding or conclusion is unsupported by the evidence or is contrary to the evidence, the appellant must include in the record a transcript of all evidence relevant to that finding or conclusion.” Fed. R.App. P. 10(b)(2). When a pro se litigant’s failure to do so prevents effective review of the trial court’s decision, we must affirm. Loren v. Sasser, 309 F.3d 1296, 1304 (11th Cir.2002). The bankruptcy court granted relief “[f]or the reasons stated on the record in open court.” Yet Owens did not provide either the district court or our court a transcript of the bankruptcy court proceedings. We therefore cannot meaningfully review the bankruptcy court’s decision and we must affirm. See id.

Owens also contends the bankruptcy court’s hearing did not afford him adequate due process. “The core of due process is the right to notice and a meaningful opportunity to be heard.” LaChance v. Erickson, 522 U.S. 262, 266, 118 S.Ct. 753, 139 L.Ed.2d 695 (1998). Without a transcript of the proceedings, however, we cannot evaluate whether Owens had a meaningful opportunity to be heard. Because the burden of furnishing a transcript for appellate review rests with Owens and he has failed to comply with this obligation, we must affirm the district court’s conclusion that his due process rights were not violated. See Loren, 309 F.3d at 1304.

For the foregoing reasons, the district court’s order affirming the bankruptcy court’s decision is

AFFIRMED. 
      
      . Although Owens contends on appeal that the bankruptcy court lacked jurisdiction to grant GMAC relief from the automatic stay, the bankruptcy court clearly had statutory authority to do so. See 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(1), (b)(2)(G).
     
      
      . Owens also argues that GMAC illegally foreclosed because it did not have an interest in the property. But the bankruptcy court necessarily determined that GMAC had an interest in the property when it granted GMAC relief from the automatic stay. See 11 U.S.C. § 362(d) (providing that only "a party in interest” can request relief from an automatic stay). Because, as discussed above, Owens has not provided the transcript necessary to meaningfully review that decision, this argument fails.
