Walter RODE, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 93-1959.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Jan. 4, 1995.
    Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, Joseph R. Chloupek, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, Norman Elliot Kent, Norman Elliot Kent, P.A., and Richard L. Rosen-baum, Law Offices of Richard L. Rosenbaum, Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Sarah B. Mayer, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

We affirm Appellant’s convictions for bribery and unlawful compensation but reverse Appellant’s sentence as to each count. Community control may not be imposed, other than as a guidelines departure, on a recommended guideline range of a non-state prison sanction. E.g. State v. Mestas, 507 So.2d 587 (Fla.1987). On remand for resentencing, the trial court may consider whether to impose a departure sentence if grounds exist. State v. Vanhorn, 561 So.2d 584 (Fla.1990).

HERSEY, STONE and KLEIN, JJ., concur.
