MEMORANDUM**

2
The government appeals the district court's grant of habeas corpus relief to Stacy Williams, a federal prisoner.  The government asks us to overrule Brown v. Rison, in which we held that a prisoner was entitled to credit on his sentence for pre-trial time spent in a community treatment center because the conditions approached those of incarceration.  895 F.2d at 536 (9th Cir.1990);  accord Mills v. Taylor, 967 F.2d 1397 (9th Cir.1992);  Tyree v. Taylor, 965 F.2d 773 (9th Cir.1992).  As a three-judge panel, we cannot overrule Ninth Circuit precedent.  United States v. Lucas, 963 F.2d 243, 247 (9th Cir.1992).
