STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Gartiellia Larry EASON, Appellee.
    No. 86-87.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
    Jan. 28, 1987.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and William E. Taylor, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellant.
    James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and A. Anne Owens, Asst. Public Defender, Bartow, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

The state appeals from the trial court’s downward departure from the sentencing guidelines. The only reason given on the scoresheet for the departure was “Recommendation of D.O.C. [Department of Corrections] Officer.” The trial court’s own reason for departure should be set forth. See State v. Jackson, 478 So.2d 1054 (Fla.1985); State v. D’Alexander, 496 So.2d 1007 (Fla. 2d DCA 1986). We reverse and remand for resentencing.

GRIMES, A.C.J., and RYDER and LEHAN, JJ., concur.
