above named defendant in this matter. In the event that the Federal Public Defender accepts this
appointment, the Federal Public Defender shall forthwith file an appearance in this matter. In the
event the Federal Public Defender should decline this appointment for reason of conflict or on the
basis of the Criminal Justice Act Plan, the Federal Public Defender shall forthwith provide the
court with a draft appointment order (CJA Form 20) bearing the name and other identifying
information of the CJA Panel attorney identified in accordance with the Criminal Justice Act Plan
for this district.


        IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk shall provide a copy of this order to the Federal
Public Defender for the District of Nebraska.

        DATED this 21st day of August, 2025.
