LUVENIA JOHNSON, APPELLANT, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE.

RYDER, Chief Judge.

Luvenia Johnson entered into a plea bargain with the state for a term of four years in prison. She was convicted of forgery, uttering a forged instrument, and violating her probation and sentenced pursuant to the plea agreement. She now appeals the sentence on the ground that it exceeds the recommended sentence of the sentencing guidelines.

A departure from the sentencing guidelines is clearly warranted when a plea bargain specifies the permissible sentence. Bell v. State, 453 So.2d 478 (Fla. 2d DCA 1984). Because Johnson was bound by her contract, we affirm the sentence.

CAMPBELL and LEHAN, JJ., concur.
