Head Matter:
Norman ALLEN a/k/a Joe Green, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 88-01305.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
April 18, 1990.
James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Megan Olson, Asst. Public Defender, Bartow, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Dell H. Edwards, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
At sentencing the trial court departed upward from the recommended guidelines sentence and orally gave as a reason the appellant's multiple violations of probation. This is a valid reason for departure. Williams v. State, 559 So.2d 680 (Fla. 2d DCA April 4, 1990) (en banc). However, no written reason for departure was filed. We, therefore, remand for re-sentencing and entry of a written order setting forth the reasons for departure in accordance with Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.701(d)(11), if the trial court again departs.
Remanded.
SCHOONOVER, A.C.J., and HALL and THREADGILL, JJ., concur.
