Brown v. State

Florida District Courts of Appeal February 27, 1986

Brown v. State, 483 So. 2d 857 (1986)

11 Fla. L. Weekly 521; 1986 Fla. App. LEXIS 6600

Cobb, Orfinger, Wart

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the departure sentence imposed herein for the reason that the record in this case does not support the trial court’s finding that the defendant was engaged in an “escalating pattern of criminal behavior.” The sentence is vacated and the case is remanded for resentencing in accordance with the guidelines, absent clear and convincing reasons for departure.

SENTENCE VACATED. REMANDED.

COBB, C.J., and ORFINGER and CO-WART, JJ., concur.
