State v. Jordan
678 So. 2d 526, 1996 Fla. App. LEXIS 9124, 1996 WL 492167
District Court of Appeal of Florida·Decided August 30, 1996·No. No. 95-2732·Published·Cited by 1 cases
Opinion
Upon violation of probation by Jordan, the trial court entered a downward departure sentence without setting forth any written reasons for such departure. This is improper, and is so acknowledged by the appellee’s [527]*527brief. See State v. Weaver, 662 So.2d 1019 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995); State v. Williams, 652 So.2d 517 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995); Fla. R.Crim. P. 3.701(d)(ll). Moreover, the oral reasons expressed by the trial court for the downward departure are insufficient.
REVERSED AND REMANDED FOR SENTENCING WITHIN THE GUIDELINES.
