Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District

Date published: Sep 12, 1996

679 So. 2d 362 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1996)

Opinion

No. 96-2351.

September 12, 1996.

Appeal from Circuit Court for Lake County, G. Richard Singeltary, J.

Tess L. Godwin, Lowell, pro se.

No Appearance for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Defendant appeals the summary denial of her 3.800 motion to correct sentence. Defendant asserts in the 3.800 motion that the trial court entered a departure sentence without providing written reasons. This sentencing error must be raised on direct appeal, and it is not cognizable in a post-conviction motion. See Davis v. State, 661 So.2d 1193 (Fla. 1995).

AFFIRMED.

COBB, GOSHORN and GRIFFIN, JJ., concur.
