Andy Thomas, Public Defender, and Steven L. Seliger, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

We affirm appellant's conviction and sentence in this Anders ¹ appeal but remand for correction of the written judgment to reflect that his conviction for manslaughter with a weapon was reclassified to a first-degree felony due to his use of a knife, pursuant to section 775.087(1), Florida Statutes (2014), as charged in the information. See Stafford v. State, 584 So. 2d 138 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991); Jones v. State, 164 So. 3d 1249 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015) (citing Washington v. State, 37 So. 3d 376 (Fla. 1st DCA 2010)).
