No. 94-00049.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
July 12, 1994.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen. and Paulette R. Taylor, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellant.
Joseph S. Shook, Coral Gables, for appel-lee.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and NESBITT and GODERICH, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The trial court erred in failing to provide contemporaneous written reasons for imposing a downward departure sentence. Ree v. State, 565 So.2d 1329 (Fla.1990), modified, State v. Lyles, 576 So.2d 706 (Fla.1991), and receded from in part, Smith v. State, 598 So.2d 1063 (Fla.1992). Accordingly, we reverse the defendant's sentence and remand to allow the defendant to withdraw his plea.
