1Opinion of the Court
LAY, Circuit Judge:
Talmage Ellis appeals the dismissal of his petition for writ of habeas corpus by the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. On July 16,1990, Ellis was convicted of attempted murder and assault against Larry Hickman. Ellis argues that the evidence at his criminal trial could not support either charge and that his trial counsel’s incompetent assistance violated his Sixth Amendment rights. We reject both arguments and affirm the district court’s dismissal of Ellis’s habeas corpus petition.
