State v. Hernandez

Opinion of the Court

ADKINS, Justice.

We review the decision of Hernandez v. State, 465 So.2d 577 (Fla. 1st DCA 1985), in which the district court certified conflict with numerous cases. We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 8(b)(4), Fla.Const.

In State v. Jackson, 478 So.2d 1054 (Fla. 1985), we held that a departure from the sentencing guidelines must be accompanied by a written order expressing the reasons for departure.

Accordingly, we approve the decision of the district court.

It is so ordered.

BOYD, C.J., and OVERTON, MCDONALD, EHRLICH and SHAW, JJ., concur.
