CASANUEVA, Judge.
Derick Deravil, in the sole ground in his petition filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(d), contends that the instruction provided to the jury for attempted manslaughter by act, also known as attempted voluntary manslaughter, constituted fundamental error. We agree, reverse Deravil's conviction for attempted second-degree murder with a weapon, vacate the sentence, and remand for a new trial.
