Jones v. State

Jones v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 16, 1988 · Danahy, Hall, Ryder
533 So. 2d 917; 13 Fla. L. Weekly 2544; 1988 Fla. App. LEXIS 5064; 1988 WL 122449 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Jones v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The trial judge departed from the recommended guideline range in this case without entering a written departure order. As conceded by the appellee, this was reversible error. State v. Jackson, 478 So.2d 1054 (Fla. 1985).

Therefore, the sentence herein is set aside and the matter remanded for resen-tencing. Any departure from the guidelines must be based on proper reasons and must be stated in writing.

RYDER, A.C.J., and DANAHY and HALL, JJ., concur.
