Effective December 1, 2021 (b) (2) Nebraska Criminal Rules no foreseeable conflict of interest or violation of the rules of ethics will occur if the federal public defender continues to represent the defendant. Eligibility Ceases; Notification. The federal public defender must advise the court when, at any time during the representation in an ancillary matter, the federal public defender obtains information indicating the client is financially able to pay, in whole or in part, for legal or other services related to the representation, and the information is not protected as a privileged communication. 44.3 Filing of Fee and Expense Voucher. (a) Deadline. (b) Counsel appointed under the Criminal Justice Act must submit the completed voucher for fees and expenses electronically using the court's eVoucher payment processing system within 45 days after sentencing or dismissal of a case. (Information on using the court's eVoucher payment processing system can be obtained by contacting the federal public defender's office.) A letter showing good cause why the voucher should be paid must accompany a voucher submitted after 45 days and less than 1 year after sentencing or dismissal of a case. The court summarily denies an application or voucher submitted more than 1 year after sentencing or dismissal of a case. Vouchers must be submitted to the federal public defender, unless an attorney believes that the federal public defender has a conflict of interest that would preclude the federal public defender from properly receiving information in the voucher. If a potential conflict of interest exists, the voucher may be submitted to the clerk. Fee Application Guidelines. With respect to services performed and expenses incurred in a Criminal Justice Act case, the following guidelines should help attorneys present to the court information essential to a reasoned explanation of the fee award. Attorneys should also review the most recent circuit court decisions for additional guidance. These fee guidelines also may be appropriate in applications for sanctions. (1) Services Performed.
