Fisher was nominated by President Bill Clinton for the seat vacated by Judge David R. Thompson on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on March 15, 1999.[4] He was confirmed by the United States Senate in a 69–29 vote[5] on October 5, 1999, and received his commission on October 12, 1999.[2]
In 2004, Fisher granted the habeas corpus petition of a death row inmate whose jury had considered invalid sentencing factors, which the Supreme Court of the United States then reversed, by a vote of 5-4.[6] In 2006, Judge Fisher dissented when the circuit upheld a county’s practice of requiring home searches of welfare recipients.[7] He took senior status on March 31, 2013.[8] Fisher died on February 29, 2020.[9]
