Respondent Maryellen Thoms appeals a. district court order granting a petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed by this federal prisoner under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. This case was held in abeyance pending a decision in the Supreme Court’s case of Lopez v. Davis, No. 99-7504, and this court’s ease of Powell v. Thoms, No. 99-5974. These cases have now been decided. See Lopez v. Davis, 531 U.S.
