Publisher Description
MEMORANDUM* William Tecumsah Fisher appeals the five-year sentence imposed upon revocation of probation. Fisher contends
that the district court abused its discretion by imposing the five-year sentence without stating reasons. He also contends
that the district court intended to impose a four-year and two-month sentence. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §
1291 and affirm. In March 1987, Fisher was convicted of two firearms charges. He was sentenced, pre-Sentencing Guidelines, to five years'
probation upon completion of a two-year custodial term. He was ordered not to possess "any weapon, any part of a weapon, [or]
any item that looks like a weapon" as a condition of probation. In January 1991, Fisher admitted that he had violated his
probation by possessing guns on two occasions as well as testing positive for drugs, associating with a felon and drug traffickers,
and resisting arrest. The district court revoked Fisher's probation and imposed a five-year sentence of imprisonment.
