Head Matter:
Victor H. CONCHA, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 4D16-2046
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
August 16, 2017
Vincent James Benincasa of the Benin-casa Law Firm, P.A., Vero Beach, for appellant.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Allen R. Geesey, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Victor Concha appeals his sentence for ten counts of possession of child pornography. Concha argues that the trial judge committed fundamental error when he implied that he would not, as a general policy, consider Concha's mental health needs as a basis for downward departure. We reverse and remand for resentencing before a different judge, because the trial judge's comments in this case are substantively indistinguishable from those we found to constitute fundamental error in Fraser v. State, 201 So.3d 847 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016).
Reversed and Remanded.
Taylor, Damoorgian and Kuntz, JJ., concur.
