No. 1D01-2710.

840 So.2d 335 (2003)

Jagada CHAMBERS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Rehearing Denied March 25, 2003.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and G. Kay Witt, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, Attorneys for Appellant.

Richard E. Doran, Attorney General, and Janelle C. Gillaspie, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, Attorneys for Appellee.


PER CURIAM.

Appellant challenges the trial court's finding that no valid legal reason exists to support a downward departure. Pursuant to section 924.06(1), Florida Statutes (1999), a defendant may only appeal an illegal sentence or a sentence which exceeds the statutory maximum. Appellant's sentence is neither illegal nor in excess of the statutory maximum and, therefore, is not appealable. Accordingly, we are compelled to dismiss this appeal.

DISMISSED....
