Opinion

No. 88-2493.

August 30, 1989. Rehearing Denied September 27, 1989.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Broward County; Thomas M. Coker, Jr., Judge.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Anthony Calvello, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and John Tiedemann, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


We affirm the appellant's convictions on Counts I and II. However, we reverse the sentence imposed on Count II because the trial court gave neither oral nor written reasons for its departure from the recommended guidelines sentence.

AFFIRMED AS TO COUNT I; REVERSED AND REMANDED FOR RESENTENCING AS TO COUNT II.

DOWNEY, WALDEN and GUNTHER, JJ., concur.
