Full Opinion (469 characters)
NORTHCUTT, Judge. We affirm James Arango’s conviction and sentence for organized fraud. But, as conceded by the State, we must reverse the restitution awards that were entered after Arango filed his notice of appeal, which divested the trial court of jurisdiction. See, e.g., Renfroe v. State, 20 So.3d 1027 (Fla. 2d DCA 2009). On remand, the court may revisit the issue of restitution. Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded. LaROSE and CRENSHAW, JJ„ Concur.
