FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ No. 1D21-1773 _____________________________ JESSIE MICHELLE WENTWORTH, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. _____________________________ On appeal from the Circuit Court for Suwannee County. David W. Fina, Judge. February 15, 2023 PER CURIAM. An Anders * review of the record in Ms. Wentworth’s case reveals no arguable issues on appeal. There was competent, substantial evidence to support Ms. Wentworth’s conviction for interfering with child custody under section 787.03, Florida Statutes (2021), and therefore her motion for judgment of acquittal was properly denied. Meme v. State, 72 So. 3d 254, 256 (Fla. 4th DCA 2011) (“A motion for judgment of acquittal should be granted only when it is apparent that no legally sufficient evidence has been submitted under which a jury could find a verdict of guilty.”) There are no other issues evident on the face of the record. Accordingly, we affirm. * Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). AFFIRMED. BILBREY, WINOKUR, and LONG, JJ., concur. _____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________ Jessica J. Yeary, Public Defender, and David Alan Henson, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee. 2
