USA v. Vanvalkenburg

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
vs.
RAYMOND A. VANVALKENBURG,
Defendant.
8:15CR23
ORDER ON APPEARANCE FOR
SUPERVISED RELEASE VIOLATION
The defendant appeared before the Court on February 25, 2026 regarding Amended
Petition for Offender Under Supervision [49]. Jeffrey Thomas represented the defendant. Thomas
Kangior 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 government made an oral motion to dismiss Petition for Offender Under Supervision
[37]. The government’s oral motion to dismiss Petition for Offender Under Supervision [37] 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 Senior U.S. District Judge
Joseph F. Bataillon in Courtroom No. 3, Roman L. Hruska U.S. Courthouse, 111 South 18th Plaza,
Omaha, Nebraska, at 2:30 p.m. on April 13, 2026.
The government moved for detention based upon danger. 	The defendant freely,
knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived the right to a detention hearing. 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.
