I. INTRODUCTION Daevier K. Kellogg pled no contest to one count of attempted possession of a deadly weapon by a prohibited person in violation of Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 28-1206(1)(a) and (3)(b) and 28-201(4)(a) (Cum. Supp. 2020). The Douglas County District Court sentenced Kellogg to 22 to 28 years’ imprisonment.

[Kellogg] is a prohibited person preventing him from owning or possessing firearms. All events occurr[ed] in Douglas County, Nebraska. The parties stipulated that, on August 2, 2021, “Kellogg was a prohibited person by virtue of a valid felony conviction.” The district court accepted the stipulation and took judicial notice of a prior case wherein Kellogg was convicted of a felony.
