John MOODY, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 95-1535.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Aug. 14, 1996.
    Sara Blumberg and Michael Dubiner of Sara Blumberg, P.A., Boynton Beach, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Don M. Rogers, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for ap-pellee.
   FARMER, Judge.

We vacate appellant’s sentence and remand for sentencing within the guideline range under State v. Darrisaw, 660 So.2d 269 (Fla.1995). Darrisaw holds that an escalating pattern of criminal conduct requires crimes in temporal proximity to each other or related crimes, neither of which are met in this case. Id. at 271. The appellant was sentenced under § 921.0016, Florida Statutes (1993), which expressly does not conflict with Darrisaw, thus departure from guidelines is without basis.

STEVENSON, J., and OWEN, WILLIAM C., JR., Senior Judge, concur.
