IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA VICTORIA DENISE WILLIAMS, NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED Appellant, v. CASE NO. 1D06-0149 STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. _____________________________/ Opinion filed March 30, 2007. An appeal from the Circuit Court for Taylor County. James Roy Bean, Judge. Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and Danielle Jorden, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Bill McCollum, Attorney General, and Felicia A. Wilcox, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee. BROWNING, C.J. We affirm Appellant s conviction and sentence for felony cruelty to animals, as the State produced evidence sufficient to overcome Appellant s motion for judgment of acquittal. We reverse the order of restitution because the trial court lacked jurisdiction to enter such order, as Appellant had already filed her notice of appeal. See, e.g., Brantley v. State, 723 So. 2d 909 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999). We note that, upon return of jurisdiction to the trial court, the trial court may conduct another restitution hearing. See id. AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part, and REMANDED. WEBSTER and PADOVANO, JJ., CONCUR. 2
