EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

DONNA BROWN PLAINTIFF

VS. CASE NO. 5:05CV0064

FRED’S STORES OF TENNESSEE, INC. DEFENDANT

ORDER STAYING EXECUTION OF JUDGMENT

Pending is the motion of Defendant, Fred’s Stores of Tennessee, Inc. for stay of execution

of judgment pending appeal. (Docket #91). A jury trial was held in this matter May 2 - 3, 2006. 

Following the presentation of evidence the jury returned verdicts in favor of Plaintiff, Donna

Brown. The jury awarded compensatory damages in the amount of $4,109.20 and found that

Fred’s conduct was willful. On May 5, 2006 the Court awarded Plaintiff $4,109.20 in liquidated

damages. On June 29, 2006 the Court entered an Order granting Plaintiff attorneys’ fees in the

amount of $16,340.00. Fred’s filed its notice of appeal on July 5, 2006.

Fed. R. Civ. P. 62(d) provides as follows: 

When an appeal is taken the appellant by giving a supersedeas bond may obtain a

stay subject to the exceptions contained in subdivision (a) of this rule. The bond

may be given at or after the time of filing the notice of appeal or of procuring the

order allowing the appeal, as the case may be. The stay is effective when the

supersedeas bond is approved by the court.

Defendant filed a supersedeas bond securing the payment of all costs and damages that may be

affirmed against it on appeal. Accordingly, Defendant’s motion for stay of execution of

judgment pending appeal is GRANTED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED this 2nd day of August, 2006.
