   Prisoner case - habeas. The transfer of plaintiffs Howard and Lovato to
   Residential Re-entry Centers under a new Bureau of Prisons' policy
   mooted their challenge to the Bureau's actions on their earlier requests
   for transfer to such program; policy which called for the Bureau to
   evaluate decisions on transfer to such programs 11 to 13 months before a
   release date was reasonable and did not create the kind of absolute
   exclusion of a class of inmates which this court has rejected in its earlier
   decisions on the programs; policy guideline which normally limited
   placement in a Residential Re-entry Center to 180 days, absent
   extraordinary circumstances, was not contrary to the applicable statute or
   this court's decisions.
