1Opinion of the Court

DIAMANTIS, Judge.

We vacate Edward Richardson’s sentence for possession of cocaine and remand for resentencing on the authority of State v. Davis, 630 So.2d 1059 (Fla.1994); however, because the trial court did not realize that it was imposing a departure sentence, on remand the court may impose a departure sentence as long as proper contemporaneous written reasons are provided. See State v. Betancourt, 552 So.2d 1107, 1108 (Fla.1989); Hicks v. State, 640 So.2d 1221, 1222 (Fla. 5th DCA 1994).1

Convictions AFFIRMED; sentence VACATED; cause REMANDED.

COBB and GOSHORN, JJ., concur.. We note that…
