Matthews v. State

Opinion of the Court

ORFINGER, Judge.

Because the trial court departed from the sentencing guidelines without giving contemporaneous written reasons for the departure we quash the sentences and remand for resentencing. State v. Jackson, 478 So.2d 1054 (Fla. 1985); State v. Oden, 478 So.2d 51 (Fla. 1985).

SENTENCE QUASHED; REMANDED.

UPCHURCH and SHARP, JJ., concur.
