1Opinion of the Court
FAIRCHILD, Circuit Judge.
Petitioner-appellee Marilyn Cuevas (“Cue-vas”) was convicted of murder and attempted murder in Illinois state court following a jury trial. Cuevas challenges the murder conviction, contending that instructions given her jury violated her federal due process rights. She also argues that she should be resen-tenced with respect to attempted murder. Odie Washington, the Warden of the Dixon Correctional Center where Cuevas is incarcerated, appeals from a judgment of the district court granting Cuevas’ petition for a writ of habeas corpus. 811 F.Supp. 1294.1 We reverse.
