Matthews v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 3, 1986 · Cobb, Dauksch, Orfinger
486 So. 2d 47 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Matthews v. State

Opinion of the Court

DAUKSCH, Judge.

This is an appeal from a sentence. Because the trial court departed from the recommended guideline sentence without giving contemporaneous written reasons for the departure we quash the sentence 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.

COBB, C.J., and ORFINGER, J., concur.
