WILLIAMS v. STATE

No. 86-2460.

528 So.2d 498 (1988)

Kenneth WILLIAMS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

July 13, 1988.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, Bartow, and Brad Permar, Asst. Public Defender, Clearwater, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Gary O. Welch, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Defendant appeals from his sentence upon his conviction for second degree murder and contends that the trial court erred in its upward departure from the sentencing guidelines. We affirm.

One of the trial court's reasons for the departure concerned defendant's escalating pattern of criminal conduct, culminating in this case with murder. This is a valid reason for departure. Winkler v. State, 515 So.2d 1017
