No. 89-219.

549 So.2d 1206 (1989)

The STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Jerome SINGLETARY, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

October 17, 1989.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Jorge Espinosa, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellant.

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Marti Rothenberg, Asst. Public Defender, for appellee.

Before NESBITT, LEVY and GERSTEN, JJ.


LEVY, Judge.

The State appeals a ten cell downward departure sentence in a criminal prosecution for unemployment compensation fraud and grand theft in the second degree. We reverse based upon our finding that the trial court improperly departed from the sentencing guidelines.

In July of 1985, Jerome Singletary, the defendant, was charged with several offenses, not directly related to this action, for which he was subsequently found guilty and sentenced.
