OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING THE PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
TARNOW, District Judge.
Daniel Albert Newman, (“petitioner”), presently confined by respondent, seeks the issuance of a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. In his ha-beas application, filed both pro se and supplemented by counsel, petitioner challenges his convictions for second-degree murder, M.C.L.A. 750.317; and felony-firearm, M.C.L.A. 750.227b and his sentence. Because of the lack of sufficient evidence to support a conviction, petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas corpus is GRANTED.
