485 So.2d 887

11 Fla.L.Weekly 734

Matthews v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1986-03-27

Relies on 478 So. 2d 1054 - State v. Jackson

Decided 1986-03-27

COBB, Chief Judge.

¶1The trial judge in this case departed from the recommended guideline sentence without providing written reasons therefor. This was done prior to the decision of State v. Jackson, 478 So.2d 1054 (Fla.1986), which held that departure sentences must be accompanied by written reasons. We must therefore reverse and remand for re-sentencing in accordance with Jackson.

¶2REVERSED and REMANDED.

SHARP and COWART, JJ., concur.
