    Willie WILLIAMS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 96-2885.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Aug. 20, 1997.
    
      Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Tatjana Ostapoff, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Barbra Amron Weisberg, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

We reverse defendant’s sentence because the trial court failed to state oral or written reasons for the departure as required by section 921.0016(l)(c), Florida Statutes (1995), and rule 3.702(d)(18), Florida Rules Criminal Procedures. On remand the resen-tencing should be within the guidelines. Pope v. State, 561 So.2d 554 (Fla.1990).

STONE, C.J., and FARMER and GROSS, JJ., concur.
