1Opinion of the Court

SCHWARZER, District Judge.

Captain Mary Hanna sought discharge from the Army as a conscientious objector. *6The Department of the Army Conscientious Objector Review Board (“DACORB”) denied Hanna’s application. Hanna then petitioned the district court for a writ of habeas corpus which the court granted, holding that there was no basis in fact for the DACORB’s decision. Hanna v. Sec’y of the U.S. Army, 2006 WL 2925268 (D.Mass. Oct.6, 2006). The Army appealed. We hold that the DACORB’s decision was without a basis in fact, and we therefore affirm.
