FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
vs.
MARTELL W. RUNNINGSHIELD,
Defendant.
8:19CR53
ORDER ON APPEARANCE FOR
SUPERVISED RELEASE VIOLATION
The defendant appeared before the Court on January 20, 2026 regarding Second Amended
Petition for Offender Under Supervision [96]. Jeffrey Thomas represented the defendant. Martin
Conboy 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 10:00 a.m. on April 2, 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/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); 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
