USA v. Mitchell

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
vs.
FARRELL MITCHELL,
Defendant.
8:18CR272
ORDER ON APPEARANCE FOR
SUPERVISED RELEASE VIOLATION
The defendant appeared before the Court on February 12, 2026 regarding Petition for
Offender Under Supervision [133]. 	Cheryl Kessell represented the defendant. 	Patrick McGee
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 Senior U.S. District Judge
John M. Gerrard in Courtroom No. 1, Roman L. Hruska Federal Courthouse, 111 South 18th Plaza,
Omaha, Nebraska, at 11:30 a.m. on March 19, 2026.
The government moved for detention based upon 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 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
