No. 88-2990.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The judgment of conviction is affirmed in all respects. However, in imposing an upward departure sentence, the court failed to state the grounds for departure in writing. Accordingly, the sentence is reversed and the cause is remanded for resentenc-ing, stating written grounds if the sentence constitutes a departure from the sentencing guidelines. Stewart v. State, 549 So.2d 171 (Fla.1989).
DOWNEY and WALDEN, JJ., and McNULTY, JOSEPH P., Associate Judge, concur.
