STROUD, Judge.

*275 Defendant appeals order denying his motion to suppress and judgment for drug-related convictions. The trial court properly denied defendant's motion to suppress and had jurisdiction to correct defendant's sentence since defendant's defective notice of appeal did not divest the trial court of jurisdiction.
