Petitioner failed to turn over the 304 U.S. saving bonds to the
U.S. Attorney’s Office on or before August 7, 1998.
The U.S. attorney filed a motion for an order to show cause
why petitioner should not be held in contempt of the District
Court’s restitution order by failing to turn over the 304 U.S.
Saving Bonds. On September 18, 1998, the District Court
conducted a trial on the Government’s motion. The District Court
held that petitioner was in contempt of the court’s March 19,
1998, order “when he transferred--using that in its ordinary
English sense--150 United States savings bonds with a face value
of $1,000 to Michael Hoover after having been expressly ordered
in this courtroom on March 19, 1998, not to do so.” The District
Court then ordered that petitioner “is committed to the Bureau of
Prisons for a term of six months, to be served consecutively to
the sentence heretofore imposed in this cause.”
On September 22, 1998, Michael Hoover turned over 165 U.S.

U.S. Attorney’s Office. Also on September 23, 1998, Michael

U.S. savings bonds; however, he did not turn over the proceeds of
these savings bonds to the U.S. attorney. On January 11, 1999,
