Opinion of the Court

STARGEL, J.

Appellant, Eugene Kolek, appeals the judgment and sentence adjudicating him guilty of two counts of battery and sentencing him to one year in jail on each count to run consecutively. Because Appellant does not raise, nor do we find, any issue with his judgment and sentence, we affirm.

Appellant also contests the trial court’s post-judgment restitution order,

entered after he appealed. We lack jurisdiction to consider Appellant’s argument,

given his failure to appeal this order. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.110(b) (“Jurisdiction of the court under this rule must be invoked by filing a notice with the clerk of the lower tribunal within 30 days of rendition of the order to be reviewed . . . .”); see also

State, 240 So. 3d 904, 905 (Fla. 1st DCA 2018); Studnicka v. State, 679 So. 2d 819,

822 (Fla. 3d DCA 1996). Accordingly, we dismiss this portion of the appeal.
