James Norman ALBRITTON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 85-572.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Nov. 26, 1986.
    Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Louis G. Carres, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Penny H. Brill, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Appellant, James Norman Albritton, appeals his conviction and sentence for three counts of rape. We affirm the conviction but vacate the sentence and remand for resentencing because the trial court erred in using Albritton’s habitual offender status as a reason for departure from the recommended guidelines sentence. Whitehead v. State, 498 So.2d 863 (Fla.1986).

AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART, AND REMANDED FOR RESEN-TENCING.
