THE STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLANT,
v.
LEON FREDERICK, APPELLEE

Fla. 3d DCA | 1988-05-24
No. 87-2058
Before BASKIN, DANIEL S. PEARSON and JORGENSON, JJ.
525 So. 2d 491 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1988) Negative Treatment
Cited by 5 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The downward departure sentence in this case does not comply with section 921.-001(6), Florida Statutes (Supp.1986), Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure 3.701(b)(6) and 3.701(d)(ll), or the applicable case law. See State v. Jackson, 478 So. 2d 1054 (Fla.1985) (trial court must give written reasons for any guidelines departure); accord State v. Lemon, 517 So. 2d 117 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987). We, therefore, vacate and remand for the entry of an appropriate written order. In so doing, we direct the trial court’s attention to State v. Taylor, 482 So. 2d 578 (Fla. 5th DCA 1986) (defendant’s compliance with court order not a proper basis for departing from sentencing guidelines).

Vacated and remanded with directions.
