OPINION
FERGUSON, Circuit Judge.
Petitioner William Luna (“Luna”) appeals the District Court’s denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus alleging ineffective assistance of counsel at his state trial for attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and robbery. The District Court found that trial counsel’s performance was deficient due to his failure to interview and subpoena two alibi witnesses and one exonerating witness, but concluded that his error was not prejudicial. We reverse and remand.
