COPE, Judge.
The State appeals a downward departure sentence. We reverse.
Defendant William Ralph Tiedge accepted a plea offer by the court, to which the State objected. Defendant was given a downward departure sentence of three years probation on the charge of aggravated battery. The 1994 guidelines called for a term of incarceration. No reasons for the downward departure sentence were given. The State has appealed and defendant has not filed a brief.
