`
`
`
`TO UNITED STATES ATTORNEY RANDY S. GROSSMAN, ASSISTANT
`
`UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS MELANIE K. PIERSON AND SABRINA L.
`
`FÈVE, AND DOJ ATTORNEY CANDINA S. HEATH:
`
`Defendant Mohammed Abdul Qayyum, by and through his counsel, hereby moves
`
`the Court to correct the imposed term of supervised release from three years to one year,
`
`pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3583(b)(3). The government agrees that the statutory maximum
`
`term of supervised release available for Mr. Qayyum’s misdemeanor violation of 18 USC
`
`§ 1037(a)(5) is one year pursuant to 18 USC § 3583(b)(3).
`
`At Mr. Qayyum’s sentencing hearing on October 3, 2022, AUSA Pierson argued that
`
`three years of supervised release were available for Mr. Qayyum’s offense and asked the
`
`Court to impose as much, which the Court did. See Dkt. No. 517. Following Mr. Qayyum’s
`
`sentencing hearing, counsel looked for and could not find any authority to support the
`
`availability of three years of supervised release for Mr. Qayyum’s offense. Undersigned
`
`counsel conferred with the government, through AUSA Pierson, who was also unable to
`
`provide any authority. AUSA Pierson concedes that the statutory maximum for
`
`Mr. Qayyum’s offense is one year and said that she had been thinking about the CAN-
`
`SPAM felony when she argued that three years of supervised release were available.
`
`Accordingly, Mr. Qayyum respectfully requests that the sentence be modified to
`
`impose one year of supervised release. The government, through AUSA Pierson, has no
`
`objection to this modification.
`
`
`Dated: October 5, 2022
