USA v. McCauley

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
vs.
SANTANA MCCAULEY,
Defendant.
8:21CR315
ORDER ON APPEARANCE FOR
SUPERVISED RELEASE VIOLATION
The defendant appeared before the Court on November 19, 2025 regarding Fourth
Amended Petition for Offender Under Supervision [88]. 	Kelly Steenbock represented the
defendant. Kathryn Pflug 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 Third Amended Petition for Offender
Under Supervision [87] and Second Amended Petition for Offender Under Supervision [68]. The
government’s oral motion to dismiss Third Amended Petition for Offender Under Supervision [87]
and Second Amended Petition for Offender Under Supervision [68] 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 Chief U.S. District Judge
Robert F. Rossiter, Jr. in Courtroom No. 4, Roman L. Hruska U.S. Courthouse, 111 South 18th
Plaza, Omaha, Nebraska, at 9:30 a.m. on January 7, 2026.
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
his burden to establish by clear and convincing evidence that he will not 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 danger only and the defendant shall be detained
until further order of the Court.
