Syllabus

Appellant's appeal of the trial court's decision finding him guilty of receiving stolen property was dismissed for lack of a final appealable order where the trial court sentenced appellant after appellant filed a premature pro se notice of appeal from the trial court's guilt finding, thereby divesting the trial court of jurisdiction to sentence appellant and rendering the trial court's sentencing order being appealed a legal nullity and treating it as if if never happened.
