FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
                STATE OF FLORIDA
                 _____________________________

                         No. 1D17-2389
                 _____________________________

DIAUNDRA JONES,

    Appellant,

    v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

    Appellee.
                 _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County.
James C. Hankinson, Judge.

                         April 17, 2018

PER CURIAM.

     Diaundra Jones appeals her sentence for grand theft, arguing
only that the trial court considered improper factors when
imposing an eight-month jail sentence. But because she has not
challenged her conviction—only her sentence—and because she
has already served that sentence, this appeal has become moot.
See Toomer v. State, 895 So. 2d 1256, 1256-57 (Fla. 1st DCA 2005)
(“Where one is challenging the legality of his sentence or seeking
jail credit against that sentence, and he completes the sentence
during the pendency of the appeal, the appeal may be dismissed as
moot.”). Although Jones asserts the appeal “is not moot because a
possibility exists that adverse collateral legal consequences will
befall Ms. Jones,” she has not articulated what those adverse
collateral consequences might be, and we can conceive of none.
    DISMISSED.

WOLF, OSTERHAUS, and WINSOR, JJ., concur.
