New Filing in Dassey Case

Yesterday, the state filed a Citation of Additional Authority (link below), which begins:

Under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 28(j), Respondent-Appellant submits Murdock v. Dorethy, No. 15-1660, 2017 WL 25477 (7th Cir. Jan. 3, 2017).

Seems the state is looking to add a new citation to a past case, as being relevant in Dassey's appeal.

The aforementioned rule, 28(j), says:

(j) Citation of Supplemental Authorities. If pertinent and significant authorities come to a party's attention after the party's brief has been filed—or after oral argument but before decision—a party may promptly advise the circuit clerk by letter, with a copy to all other parties, setting forth the citations. The letter must state the reasons for the supplemental citations, referring either to the page of the brief or to a point argued orally. The body of the letter must not exceed 350 words. Any response must be made promptly and must be similarly limited.
