Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 141 F.3d 1169 (8th Cir. 1998) Submitted March 2, 1998. Filed March 17, 1998

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Dakota.

Before McMILLIAN, LOKEN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


Larry Miller appeals from a final order of the United States District Court for the District of South Dakota, denying Miller's 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition for a writ of habeas corpus. In light of our recent decision in Martin v. Gerlinski, 133 F.3d 1076 (8th Cir. 1998), and for the reasons discussed therein, we reverse the judgment of the district court and remand the case to the district court with instructions to refer the case to the Bureau of Prisons to properly consider Miller's eligibility for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3621(e) (2) (B). We also deny Miller's motion for appointment of counsel. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
