Schoonover
SCHOONOVER, Judge.

After reviewing the briefs and record on appeal, we find the appellant has ‍​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‍failed to demonstrate any reversible error, and we therefore affirm the judgment and sentence entered by the trial court on January 22, 1982.

However, subsequent to the ‍​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‍entry of the above-mentioned judgment and sentence, and the filing of a notice of appeal by the appellant, the trial court modified said sentence. Since the filing ‍​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‍of the notice of appeal vested exclusive jurisdiction in this court, the trial court did not have jurisdiction to modify the sentence. Kelly v. State, 359 So.2d 493 (Fla. ‍​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‍1st DCA 1978). We accordingly strike the order modifying the sentence appealed from without prejudice to the appellant filing a proper motion for modification of his ‍​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‍sentence pursuant to the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure.

AFFIRMED.
