PER CURIAM.

   Affirmed. See State v. Hawkins, 790 So. 2d 492, 495 (Fla. 5th DCA
2001) (affirming robbery conviction, court noted that defendant’s act of
driving a “truck, while [victim] was hanging onto the side resisting the
theft, was an act of force intended, in part, to overcome resistance to the
taking.”); Lovett v. State, 781 So. 2d 466 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001) (finding
sufficient “violence” to affirm carjacking conviction where victim jumped
on car’s hood and defendant accelerated car while victim was on hood).

GROSS, TAYLOR and KUNTZ, JJ., concur.

                           *          *          *

   Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.
