Seals v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 13, 1992 · Farmer, Letts, Polen
598 So. 2d 285; 1992 Fla. App. LEXIS 5092; 1992 WL 98823 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Seals v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We find no reversible error as to appellant’s several points regarding his conviction. However, we reverse appellant’s sentence because the trial court failed to enter a written statement of the reasons for its departure from the recommended guidelines sentence until approximately six (6) days after its oral pronouncement of those reasons. State v. Lyles, 576 So.2d 706, 709 (Fla. 1991). See Ree v. State, 565 So.2d 1329 (Fla. 1990). We remand for resentenc-ing with no possibility of departure from the guidelines. Owens v. State, 598 So.2d 64 (Fla. 1992); Pope v. State, 561 So.2d 554 (Fla. 1990).

AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED IN PART> and REMANDED.

LETTS, POLEN and FARMER, JJ., concur.
