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.
