Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The petition is treated as a petition for writ of habeas corpus and is dismissed. See Baker v. State, 878 So. 2d 1236 (Fla. 2004). Petitioner is unable to show manifest injustice to allow a writ of habeas corpus to issue because in Knight v. State, 267 So. 3d 38 (Fla. 1st DCA 2018), review granted, SC18-309, 2018 WL 3097727 (Fla. Jun. 25, 2018), we held harmless error applies to a claim that the trial court failed to instruct on attempted voluntary manslaughter as a necessary lesser included offense of attempted second degree murder. B.L. THOMAS, OSTERHAUS, and BILBREY, JJ., concur. _____________________________
