Johnny HAWKS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 84-1815.

    Sept. 19, 1985.
    
      James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and Michael S. Becker, Asst. Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for appellant.
    Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Ellen D. Phillips, Asst. Atty. Gen., Daytona Beach, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

The valid reasons stated by the trial court for imposing a sentence under the Youthful Offender Act (eh. 958, Fla.Stat.) for offenses committed after July 1, 1984, were per se sufficient “to explain the guideline departure when an alternative program is used.” See Amendment to the Rules of Criminal Procedure, 451 So.2d 824 (Fla.1984).

AFFIRMED.
