GLADYS PUESAN, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE
PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal from an order denying a motion to vacate judgment and sentence filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850.
The record before the court does not refute appellant’s sworn statements that, based on her attorney’s representations, she misunderstood the minimum mandatory sentence she could receive. Nor did the trial judge in the plea colloquy inform the appellant that the sentence of fifteen years that he could impose would be a minimum mandatory sentence. See Ramsey v. State, 408 So. 2d 675, 676 (Fla. 4th DCA 1981) (test is whether defendant was prejudiced by honest misunderstanding which contaminated voluntariness of plea); Golden v. State, 509 So. 2d 1149, 1150 (Fla. 1st DCA 1987). (Plea may be withdrawn when defendant was induced to enter plea by mistake or misunderstanding).
We therefore reverse and remand for an evidentiary hearing on the motion.
STONE, WARNER and POLEN, JJ., concur.

The concurrent five year departure sentence for the possession of cocaine conviction, if error, is harmless because it would not extend beyond the completion of the valid ten-year sentence.

Cameron v. State, 642 So. 2d 1094 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994)…robbery and burglary — and therefore the rationale of Casteel is not violated by relying on premeditation and calculation as a reason for departure from the guidelines. This argument is flawed in its factual premise. This court, in Cooper v. State, 539 So. 2d 508 (Fla. 1st DCA), review denied, 548 So. 2d 662 (Fla.1989), said that premeditation in the commission of sexual batteries was a valid reason for upward departure because: [E]ach sexual battery offense and the solicitation offense w[ere] separate and…
