Opinion
No. 87-3533.
November 16, 1988.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County; Donald C. Evans, Judge.
James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Julius J. Aulisio, Asst. Public Defender, Bartow, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Gary O. Welch, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.
The trial judge departed from the recommended guideline range in this case without entering a written departure order. As conceded by the appellee, this was reversible error. State v. Jackson, 478 So.2d 1054 (Fla. 1985).
Therefore, the sentence herein is set aside and the matter remanded for resentencing. Any departure from the guidelines must be based on proper reasons and must be stated in writing.
RYDER, A.C.J., and DANAHY and HALL, JJ., concur.
