USA v. Waller

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
vs.
ERIC D. WALLER,
Defendant.
8:22CR194
ORDER ON APPEARANCE FOR
SUPERVISED RELEASE VIOLATION
The defendant appeared before the Court on November 25, 2025 regarding Amended
Petition for Offender Under Supervision [63]. Yvonne D. Sosa represented the defendant on
behalf of Cheryl Kessell. Kathryn Pflug represented the government on behalf of Joseph Meyer.
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
[56]. The government’s oral motion to dismiss Petition for Offender Under Supervision [56] 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 9:00 a.m. on January 21, 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/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 danger and the defendant shall be detained until
further order of the Court.
