IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
vs.
RYAN FRANKS,
Defendant.
8:14CR371
ORDER ON APPEARANCE FOR
SUPERVISED RELEASE VIOLATION
The defendant appeared before the Court on January 23, 2026 regarding Petition for
Offender Under Supervision [184]. Richard McWilliams represented the defendant on behalf of
Yvonne Sosa. Jody Mullis represented the government on behalf of Thomas Kangior. 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. Magistrate Judge
Michael D. Nelson in Courtroom No. 6, Roman L. Hruska U.S. Courthouse, 111 South 18th Plaza,
Omaha, Nebraska, at 10:30 a.m. on March 12, 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
