Petitioner Brendan Dassey, by his undersigned attorneys, moves for release on personal
recognizance or on reasonable and affordable surety during the pendency of the Respondent’s
appeal, pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 23(c) and Hilton v. Braunskill, 481 U.S.
770, 776 (1987), for the following reasons:
1. On October 20, 2014, Petitioner Brendan Dassey filed a petition for a writ of habeas
corpus. (ECF No. 1.) On August 12, 2016, this Court granted Dassey’s petition, ordering
the Respondent either to release him or initiate retrial within 90 days. (ECF No. 23.) On
September 9, 2016, the Respondent filed a Notice of Appeal, thereby triggering a stay of
the judgment till the conclusion of the appeal. (ECF No. 25.)
2. Petitioner Dassey has been held in custody since March 31, 2006 – when he was sixteen
years old – based on a confession that this Court has found involuntary and about whose
reliability it harbors “significant doubts.” (ECF No. 23 at 72.) The Court has noted that
Case 1:14-cv-01310-WED Filed 09/14/16 Page 1 of 2 Document 29

this confession “was, as a practical matter, the entirety of the case against him.” (ECF
No. 23 at 89.)
3. For the reasons articulated in the accompanying Memorandum, and pursuant to Federal
Rule of Appellate Procedure 23(c) and Hilton v. Braunskill, 481 U.S. 770, 776 (1987),
Dassey respectfully requests that this Court order his release on personal recognizance or,
in the alternative, upon submission of a reasonable and affordable surety during the
pendency of the Respondent’s appeal.
Respectfully submitted this 14th day of September, 2016.
