No. 1D14-3532.

Lavonne Travis McAllister, pro se, Petitioner.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Giselle D. Lylen, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The petition alleging ineffective assistance of appellate counsel is granted. See Alexander v. State, 121 So.3d 1185 (Fla. 1st DCA 2013) (finding that the trial court committed fundamental error by giving standard jury instruction providing that self-defense applied only if the victim suffered an "injury"). The petitioner's conviction and sentence are REVERSED, and this matter is REMANDED for a new trial.
VAN NORTWICK; RAY, and OSTERHAUS, JJ., concur.
