Opinion
It was error for the trial judge to impose a departure sentence1 without providing written reasons therefor. State v. Hill, [340]*340492 So.2d 1072 (Fla.1986); Boynton v. State, 473 So.2d 703 (Fla. 4th DCA), approved, 478 So.2d 351 (1985), cert. denied, 475 U.S. 1029, 106 S.Ct. 1232, 89 L.Ed.2d 341 (1986). We therefore REVERSE and REMAND with directions to resentence within the guidelines or provide written reasons for departure.
