GIBSON, Chief Judge
(dissenting).
I dissent. The District Court in its memorandum and order denying the § 2255 motion stated that “by this memorandum we have now explicitly stated of record the finding we implicitly made at the time petitioner was sentenced on October 18, 1968, namely, that petitioner would not benefit from treatment under the Federal Youth Corrections Act.” (Emphasis supplied.) Although Dorszynski v. United States, 418 U.S. 424, 94 S.Ct. 3042, 41 L.Ed.2d 855 (1974), does not require that a reason to support this finding be given, the District Court provided ample reasons to support its conclusion of “no benefit.” . I would hold that this statement evidences sufficient compliance with Dorszynski. To remand this case for resentencing is to compel a useless act.
