Appeals from the United States District Court for'n:-1::1:-3:::::::-::-ilabama (ttay 6, I985) Before VANCE, HENDERSON and CLARK, Circuit Judges. PER CURIA}.I: Defendants appeal the district courtrs grant of writs of habeas corpus on plaintiffs' motions for summary judgment. Both Maggie S. Bozeman and Julia P. Wilder were convicted of three counts of vote fraud in stat,e court in Pickens County, Alabama. Bozeman lras sentenced to four years imprisonment and Wi1,5er to inprisonment for f ive years. Both h,ere on parole at the time they f iled their petitions for federal habeas in district court. App1y.ing the standard of Jackson v. Virqinia, 443 U.S. 307 (1979), the district court held that the evidence against Bozeman was insufficient to support her conviction and therefore issued the writ as to her. The district court concluded that the evidence against l{ilder was sufficient to sustain her conviction. The court also heId, however, that both petitionersr juries were lnstructed on a crime not .charged in their indictment's. Bccause of such violation of her aixth amendment rights the distrlct court also lssued the wrlt as to lfilder conditloned on her retrial within ninetY daYs. The district court carefully, and lre conclude correctly, ruled on the various contentions of the parties. tle thefore affirn on the basis of the joint Memorandum opinion of the district court dated April 13, 1984.
