The STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Joseph SIDDAL, Appellee.
    No. 98-1354
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    March 24, 1999.
    
      Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Lara J. Edelstein, Assistant Attorney General, for appellant.
    Clayton R. Kaeiser, Miami, for appellee.
    Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and FLETCHER and SHEVIN, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

Although we understand the trial court’s intentions in imposing a downward departure sentence, the State’s position is correct and the downward departure is not legally sustainable. As a consequence, we reverse the trial court’s order and remand for resentenc-ing within the sentencing guidelines. See State v. Whiting, 711 So.2d 1212 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998).

Reversed and remanded for resentencing.
