Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-12, Plaintiffs Julia Bernstein, et al. (“Plaintiffs”) and 

Defendants Virgin America, Inc. and Alaska Airlines, Inc. (“Defendants”) (collectively, the 

“Parties”), through their counsel, hereby stipulate and agree that: 

WHEREAS, the Court entered judgment on February 4, 2019 (Dkt. No. 367). 

WHEREAS, on February 14, 2019 and March 14, 2019, pursuant to the Parties’ 

stipulations (Dkt. 368, 372), the Court entered Orders for an extension of stay of execution and 

enforcement of judgment by which any execution or enforcement of the judgment was stayed 

until through ten (10) court days after the Court set the amount of a supersedeas bond or the Court 

approved a stipulation submitted by the Parties resolving the amount of the supersedeas bond 

(Dkt. 369, 376). 

WHEREAS, Defendants filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals 

for the Ninth Circuit on March 4, 2019 (Dkt. No. 370). 

WHEREAS, Defendants have agreed to post a supersedeas bond in the amount of EightyOne Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($81,800,000), and Plaintiffs have agreed not to 

oppose this amount. 

WHEREAS, Defendants have obtained a supersedeas bond in the amount of Eighty-One 

Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($81,800,000), which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

WHEREAS, Defendants represent that they are able to satisfy the judgment. 

WHEREAS, Defendants have made representations to Plaintiffs concerning their current 

financial condition, and have agreed to immediately notify Plaintiffs of any material change in 

such condition that would impact Defendants’ ability to pay the judgment. 

WHEREAS, Defendants have agreed that, if the United States Court of Appeals for the 

Ninth Circuit affirms the judgment, the bond attached as Exhibit A will remain in effect until at 

least thirty days after the issuance of the mandate by the United States Court of Appeals for the 

Ninth Circuit or the full satisfaction of any judgment in favor of Plaintiffs, whichever date is 

earlier, and the Parties agree to continue the stay provided under Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 62(a) until 

thirty days after issuance of the mandate by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth 

Circuit.
