¶1Tess L. Godwin, Lowell, pro se.

¶2No Appearance for Appellee.

¶3 *363 PER CURIAM.

¶4Defendant appeals the summary denial of her 3.800 motion to correct sentence. Defendant asserts in the 3.800 motion that the trial court entered a departure sentence without providing written reasons. This sentencing error must be raised on direct appeal, and it is not cognizable in a post-conviction motion. See Davis v. State, 661 So.2d 1193 (Fla.1995).

¶5AFFIRMED.
