Before McMILLIAN, LOKEN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                            ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Robert Lee Artic moves to reinstate his appeal from a final order of the United
States District Court for the District of Minnesota denying Artic&s 28 U.S.C. § 2241
petition for a writ of habeas corpus. We grant Artic&s motion to reinstate his appeal.
In light of our recent decision in Martin v. Gerlinski, 

(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 Artic&s eligibility for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C.
§ 3621(e)(2)(B). See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).

               CLERK, U. S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
