Opinions

THREADGILL, Acting Chief Judge.

The State appeals the trial court’s order imposing a downward departure sentence on Franklin C. Higginbotham, based upon Higginbotham’s need for substance addiction treatment and his amenability to rehabilitation. We conclude that there was sufficient evidence to support the reason for departure and therefore affirm.

Affirmed.
