DEFENDANT ROBERT F. MCDONNELLS MOTION # 51


MOTION FOR RELEASE PENDING APPEAL
Defendant Robert McDonnell, by and through undersigned counsel, moves for release
pending appeal, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 3143(b).

A proposed Order is attached for the

convenience of the Court.


The standard for granting bond pending appealwhere there is no risk of flight, no
danger to the community, and the appeal is not taken solely for purposes of delayis whether
the appeal presents a substantial question of law or fact that, if successful, is likely to result in
reversal or an order for a new trial of all counts on which imprisonment has been imposed.
United States v. Miller, 753 F.2d 19, 24 (3d Cir. 1985) (construing 18 U.S.C. 3143(b)). For the
reasons set forth in the accompanying Memorandum, Mr. McDonnell respectfully submits that
his appeal will present several questions that satisfy this standard. He therefore requests that the
Court grant the present motion.
