ORDER ON APPEARANCE FOR SUPERVISED RELEASE VIOLATION
F.A. Gossett, III United States Magistrate Judge
The defendant appeared before the Court on May 9, 2024 regarding Petition for Offender Under Supervision [681]. Richard McWilliams represented the defendant. John Higgins represented the government. The defendant was advised of the alleged violation(s) of supervised release, right to retain or appointment of counsel, and any right to a preliminary hearing in accordance with Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 32.1(a)(3).
The defendant freely, knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived the right to a preliminary hearing. Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.1(b)(1)(A). The Court finds probable cause as alleged in the petition to believe the defendant violated the terms of supervised release and the defendant should be held to answer for a final dispositional hearing. Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.1(b)(1)(C). The defendant shall appear personally for a final dispositional hearing before U.S. District Judge Brian C. Buescher in Courtroom No. 5, Roman L. Hruska U.S. Courthouse, 111 South 18th Plaza, Omaha, Nebraska, at 11:30 a.m. on June 5, 2024.
The government moved for detention based upon risk of danger to the community. The defendant requested a detention hearing which was held. The defendant met his/her burden to establish by clear and convincing evidence that he/she will not flee or pose a danger to any other person or to the community. Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.1(a)(6). The government's motion for detention is denied, and the defendant shall be released on the current terms and conditions of supervision. 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a)(1).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
