USA v. Johnson et al

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

vs.

THOMAS E. JOHNSON,

Defendant.

8:11CR287

ORDER ON APPEARANCE FOR
SUPERVISED RELEASE VIOLATION

The defendant appeared before the Court on May 28, 2026 regarding Petition for Offender
Under Supervision [324]. Kenneth F. Jacobs 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 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 10:30 a.m. on July 8, 2026.
The government moved for detention based upon risk of flight and danger. The defendant
submitted on the issue of detention. The court finds that the defendant failed to meet his burden
to establish by clear and convincing evidence that he 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.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated this 28th day of May, 2026.
