No. 95-3177.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
June 5, 1996.

Before JORGENSON, GODERICH and GREEN, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Upon the State's proper confession of error, we reverse defendant's conviction for attempted first-degree felony murder and remand for a new trial on the charge of attempted premeditated murder. See State v. Gray, 654 So.2d 552 (Fla.1995) (crime of attempted first-degree felony murder does not exist).
Our disposition of this ease renders the remaining issues on appeal moot.
Reversed and remanded with directions.
. Defendant was charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder with a firearm that specifically charged either "premeditated design . and/or while engaged in the perpetration of, or in an attempt to perpetrate any rob-beiy and/or burglary." The jury found the defendant guilty "as charged."
