Description: Omaha, Nebraska criminal defense lawyer represented defendant charged with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.


The defendant appeared before the Court on July 7, 2022 regarding Amended Petition for Offender Under Supervision [197]. Kelly Steenbock represented the defendant. Kimberly Bunjer 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 government made an oral motion to dismiss Petition for Offender Under Supervision [179]. The government's oral motion to dismiss Petition for Offender Under Supervision [179] is granted without objection.

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 John M. Gerrard in Courtroom 1, Roman L. Hruska Federal Courthouse, 111 South 18th Plaza, Omaha, Nebraska, at 10:30 a.m. on July 21, 2022.

The government moved for detention based upon risk of flight and danger. The defendant requested a detention hearing which was held. The court finds that the defendant failed to meet her burden to establish by clear and convincing evidence that she will not flee or pose a danger to any other person or to the community. Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.1(a)(6); 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a)(1). The government's motion for detention is granted as to risk of flight and danger and the defendant shall be detained until further order of the Court.

The defendant shall be committed to the custody of the Attorney General or designated representative for confinement in a correctional facility and shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity for private consultation with defense counsel. Upon order of a United States court or upon request of an attorney for the government, the person in charge of the corrections facility shall deliver the defendant to the United States Marshal for an appearance in connection with a court proceeding.

Outcome: Defendant pleaded guilty to count I of the Indictment and is committed to the custody of the United States Bureau of Prisons for a term of 60 months; Supervised Release for a term of 4 years with special conditions; Special Assessment $100.00 (Paid, receipt # 8-34802)
