State v. Eason

Florida District Courts of Appeal
State v. Eason, 501 So. 2d 696 (1987)
12 Fla. L. Weekly 414; 1987 Fla. App. LEXIS 6527
Grimes, Lehan, Ryder

State v. Eason

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The state appeals from the trial court’s downward departure from the sentencing guidelines. The only reason given on the scoresheet for the departure was “Recommendation of D.O.C. [Department of Corrections] Officer.” The trial court’s own reason for departure should be set forth. See State v. Jackson, 478 So.2d 1054 (Fla. 1985); State v. D’Alexander, 496 So.2d 1007 (Fla. 2d DCA 1986). We reverse and remand for resentencing.

GRIMES, A.C.J., and RYDER and LEHAN, JJ., concur.
