FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
vs.
SIRE ENGLISH,
Defendant.
8:22CR266
ORDER ON APPEARANCE FOR
SUPERVISED RELEASE VIOLATION
The defendant appeared before the Court on December 1, 2025 regarding Second Amended
Petition for Offender Under Supervision [45]. Karen Shanahan represented the defendant. Sean
Lynch represented the government on behalf of Kathryn Pflug. 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
[27], and Amended Petition for Offender Under Supervision [43]. The government’s oral motion
to dismiss Petition for Offender Under Supervision [27], and Amended Petition for Offender
Under Supervision [43] 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 1:30 p.m. on January 14, 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.
