USA v. Drews

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
vs.
DANIEL DREWS,
Defendant.
4:22-CR-3150
ORDER
The defendant has filed a motion for compassionate release pursuant to
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A), which permits a defendant (after exhausting
administrative remedies) to move for reduction of a term of imprisonment
based upon "extraordinary and compelling reasons." However, it has been more
than 18 months since the probation office completed its compassionate release
investigation report (filing 34), and the Court finds that a more current
assessment by the probation office of the defendant's medical condition and
proposed release plan is necessary for the Court to make a reasoned decision
on the defendant's motion. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED:
1. The Office of U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services shall
promptly conduct an updated compassionate release
investigation report.
2. The Office of U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services shall, as
soon as the defendant's recent medical records are obtained,

file those records as sealed documents in this case, and
provide copies to counsel for the parties. The updated
compassionate release investigation report shall, when
complete, be filed as a restricted document in this case, and
be provided to counsel for the parties.
3. The Clerk of the Court shall set a case management deadline
for February 27, 2026 with the following docket text: Check
for medical records and compassionate release investigation
report.
4. The Clerk of the Court shall provide a copy of this order to
Supervising U.S. Probation Officer Brandon Maxon and U.S.
Probation Officer Chessie Vesely.
Dated this 28th day of January, 2026.
