    No. 87-1968.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Oct. 19, 1988.
    Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Louis G. Carres, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Carolyn V. McCann, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

We affirm but certify the following questions as issues of great public importance:

1. Is that portion of Chapter 87-110, Laws of Florida, which amends section 921.001(5), Florida Statutes, applicable to appellate review of sentences imposed for offenses committed prior to July 1, 1987?
2. Upon a revocation of probation because of the commission of a subsequent criminal act, may the conviction for the subsequent criminal act be utilized as a justification for departing from the sentencing guidelines?

ANSTEAD, LETTS and WALDEN, JJ., concur.
