1Opinion of the Court
ILANA DIAMOND ROVNER, Circuit Judge.
A jury convicted Debra Smith of possessing bald eagle feathers in violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, 16 U.S.C. § 703 (a misdemeanor offense) and acquitted her of three related charges. With Smith’s consent, the case was tried before a magistrate judge (see 18 U.S.C. § 3401), who later sentenced her to probation and entered judgment on the conviction. Smith has appealed her conviction directly to this court without first seeking review in the district court. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
