OPINION
DAUGHTREY, Circuit Judge.
The petitioner, Gerald McKenzie, is a Michigan state prisoner who was convicted of assault with intent to murder and, as a result of that conviction, is serving a sentence of life imprisonment. He appeals the district court’s judgment denying his petition for a writ of habeas corpus, filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. For the reasons set out below, we conclude that the evidence introduced against McKenzie is constitutionally insufficient to sustain his conviction, and we therefore find it necessary to reverse the district court’s denial of relief.
