KELLY, Circuit Judge.
Respondent Mike Mullin, Warden of the Oklahoma State Penitentiary, appeals the district court’s order granting conditional habeas corpus relief in the form of a new trial to Petitioner Lonnie Richie, an Oklahoma state prisoner convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to death. The sole issue on appeal is whether defense counsel rendered ineffective assistance of counsel in cross-examining Dr. Robert Hemphill, a medical examiner employed by the State of Oklahoma. Our jurisdiction arises under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we reverse.
