Text: We review de novo a district court's denial of a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. See Tablada v. Thomas, 533 F.3d 800, 805 (9th Cir. 2008). We review the BOP's promulgation of § 550.58 under the APA, see id., which provides that an agency action must be set aside if it is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law. 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A). We must review the agency action based solely on the administrative record and determine whether the agency has articulated a rational basis for its decision. Tablada, 533 F.3d at 805 (citation omitted).
