Ben Franklin MARTIN, Jr., Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 85-940.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
    Feb. 27, 1986.
    James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and Larry B. Henderson, Asst. Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for appellant.
    Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Belle B. Turner, Asst. Atty. Gen., Daytona Beach, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

This is another appeal from a guideline departure sentence and, once again, we are compelled to reverse as the reasons for departure given by the lower court were invalid. See Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.701(b)(1); Hendrix v. State, 475 So.2d 1218 (Fla.1985); Monti v. State, 480 So.2d 223 (Fla. 5th DCA 1985); Thompson v. State, 478 So.2d 462 (Fla. 1st DCA 1985); Mischler v. State, 458 So.2d 37 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984).

REVERSED and REMANDED for re-sentencing pursuant to the guidelines, absent clear and convincing reasons for departure.

COBB, C.J., and ORFINGER and CO-WART, JJ., concur.
