Johnny HAWKS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 84-1815.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

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