Westbrook v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 9, 1989 · Cowart, Daniel, Sharp
539 So. 2d 34; 14 Fla. L. Weekly 620; 1989 Fla. App. LEXIS 1180; 1989 WL 20675 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Westbrook v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm Westbrook’s conviction for two counts of bribery and one count of DUI. However, we strike that portion of Westbrook’s order of probation imposing 6 months jail time consecutive to his total 5½ years of incarceration on the bribery counts. This is in excess of Westbrook’s recommended guidelines sentence of 4½ to 5½ years and constitutes a departure sentence for which no reasons were given.

Judgment AFFIRMED; Sentence AFFIRMED as Modified.

SHARP, C.J., and COWART and DANIEL, JJ., concur.
