In the study of discrete groups it is important to find conditions for a group to be discrete. Given a discrete subgroup of Möbius transformations containing a parabolic element with fixed point ∞, a classical result, called Shimizu's lemma, gives a uniform bound on the radii of isometric circles of those elements of the group not fixing ∞. Recently Parker [8] has shown that if a discrete subgroup G of PU(1, n; C) contains a Heisenberg translation g, then any element of G not sharing a fixed point with g has an isometric sphere whose radius is bounded above by a function of the translation length of g at its centres. Parker's theorem is considered as a generalization of Shimizu's lemma. In [1] Basmajian and Miner have independently obtained qualitatively similar results for discrete subgroups of PU(1, 2; C) by using their stable basin theorem.
