PER CURIAM.
Appellant was convicted of second degree murder and aggravated assault from which conviction he brings this appeal.
The Public Defender of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, having been appointed to represent appellant in this appeal, has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967) and a motion to withdraw.
In substance the brief sets out that after reading the entire record and researching the applicable law, the public defender has been unable to find any meritorious grounds to support an argument that reversible error occurred.
Accordingly, appellant was given the time and opportunity to present argument on his own behalf, but he has chosen not to do so.
This court, pursuant to Anders, has carefully reviewed the record and concludes that appellant was afforded a fair trial, free of reversible error. We therefore affirm.
AFFIRMED.

Fed. Ins. Co. v. Fatolitis, 478 So. 2d 106 (Fla. 2d DCA 1985)…seek a formal order dismissing Federal. Having thus concluded, we turn to Fatolitis’s efforts to undo the voluntary dismissal.

Furthermore, even assuming Fatolitis’s chosen remedy was not facially defective, jurisdiction was not reacquired over Federal simply by mailing a copy of the motion to Federal’s former counsel. Generally, service of papers on an…

Five Star also cites Randle-Eastern Ambulance Serv., Inc. v. Vasta, 360 So. 2d 68 (Fla.1978), and Heston v. Vitale, 432 So. 2d 744, 745 (Fla. 4th DCA 1983), but those cases are both distinguishable as they concerned a motion to withdraw a voluntary dismissal. In the instant case, appellants did not seek to withdraw their notice of voluntary dismissal. Rather, appellants filed…
