    Bilal Siddiq ALI, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 2B98-4691.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
    July 19, 2000.
   PER CURIAM.

Bilal Siddiq Ali appeals the summary denial of his motion to correct an illegal sentence filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). Ali was sentenced on September 19, 1997, under the 1995 sentencing guidelines for an offense that apparently occurred on May 9, 1997. The trial court denied the motion relying on our decision in Heggs v. State, 718 So.2d 263 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998), that suggested the relevant window to challenge the 1995 sentencing guidelines was determined by the date of sentencing. Because it is now clear that the date of offense is the relevant date, we must reverse and remand for further consideration of this motion. See Smith v. State, 761 So.2d 419 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000).

We remand for the trial court to determine whether Ali in fact committed his offense within the Heggs window, and, if so, whether his sentence could not have been imposed under the 1994 guidelines without a departure. If the answers to both of these questions are affirmative, then Ali must be resentenced in accordance with the valid guidelines in existence at the time he committed his offense. If the court enters an order declaring resen-tencing unnecessary, it should attach all documents necessary to reach that conclusion. See Smith, 761 So.2d at 420.

Reversed and remanded for further proceedings in accordance with this opinion.
