Head Matter:
Charles A. LAMB, etc., Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 89-273.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
Nov. 22, 1989.
James B. Gibson, Public Defender and Larry B. Henderson, Asst. Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee and Pamela D. Cichon, Asst. Atty. Gen., Daytona Beach, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The defendant pled guilty to violating his probation in two separate cases. The recommended guideline sentence was any non-state prison sanction. The trial court departed and sentenced the defendant to five years' incarceration for each case, to be served concurrently. The trial court's reason for the departure was that this was the second time the defendant had violated his probation by committing a substantive offense within eight months of being placed under supervision.
Upon a violation of probation, the sentencing court may sentence the defendant only within a one cell upward increase from the original guideline range and factors relating to the violation of probation cannot be used as grounds to depart. See Franklin v. State, 545 So.2d 851 (Fla.1989); Lambert v. State, 545 So.2d 838 (Fla.1989). The trial court did not have the benefit of these decisions when sentencing the defendant.
The departure sentences are vacated and the cause is remanded for resentencing.
SENTENCES VACATED; REMANDED.
DANIEL, C.J., and COBB and GOSHORN, JJ., concur.
