Head Matter:
STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Gary A. SCHANK, Jr., Appellee.
No. 92-02419.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Nov. 1, 1993.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Marilyn McFadden, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellant.
Richard A. Greenberg, Tallahassee, for ap-pellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This cause is before us on appeal by the State from a downward departure sentence. The trial court's failure to issue contemporaneous written reasons for downward departure requires resentencing with no possibility of departure from the guidelines. State v. Howell, 611 So.2d 5 (Fla. 1st DCA 1992); see Fraser v. State, 602 So.2d 1299 (Fla.1992); Owens v. State, 598 So.2d 64 (Fla.1992); and Pope v. State, 561 So.2d.554 (Fla.1990). Ap- pellee's sentence is vacated, and this cause is remanded for resentencing.
BOOTH, BARFIELD and ALLEN, JJ., concur.
