Thomas GILBERT, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 97-1203.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    March 4, 1998.
    Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender and Craig J. Trocino, Special Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General and Christine E. Zahralban, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
    Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and GREEN and SHEVIN, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

After we remanded this case for resentenc-ing under the 1994 guidelines in Gilbert v. State, 680 So.2d 1132 (Fla. 3d DCA 1996), the trial judge imposed a departure sentence on grounds of (a) heightened premeditation, State v. Obojes, 604 So.2d 474 (Fla.1992), and (b) vulnerability due to age of the victim, § 921.0016(3)0), Fla. Stat. (1996). We find that the evidence supports neither of these grounds for departure. See Marcott v. State, 650 So.2d 977 (Fla.1995); Green v. State, 662 So.2d 748 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996).

Accordingly, the sentence under review is reversed and the cause remanded with directions to impose a guidelines sentence.
