Head Matter:
Bobby HODGES, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 94-500.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
Nov. 10, 1994.
James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and Lyle Hitchens, Asst. Public Defender, Dayto-na Beach, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Kristen L. Davenport, Asst. Atty. Gen., Daytona Beach, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We affirm Bobby Hodges' convictions; however, we must vacate Hodges' sentences on the authority of State v. Davis, 630 So.2d 1059 (Fla.1994). Because the trial court did not realize that it was imposing a departure sentence, on remand, the court can impose a departure sentence as long as proper contemporaneous written reasons are provided. See State v. Betancourt, 552 So.2d 1107 (Fla. 1989).
Convictions AFFIRMED; sentences VACATED and cause REMANDED.
GOSHORN, PETERSON and GRIFFIN, JJ., concur.
