George MIMS, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 3D02-1356.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Aug. 13, 2003.
    Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Lisa Walsh, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.
    Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, and Barbara A. Zappi, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
    Before GERSTEN, GODERICH and SHEVIN, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

George Mims appeals a judgment and sentence for attempted manslaughter with a firearm. The trial court committed fundamental error when it gave an erroneous jury instruction to the jury. See Thompson v. State, 814 So.2d 1103 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002); King v. State, 800 So.2d 734 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001). Accordingly, we vacate the sentence and reverse and remand for a new trial.

Reversed and remanded for a new trial.
