an appeal is taken, the appellant may stay the enforcement of the 

judgment by posting a supersedeas bond approved by the district

court. Fed. R. Civ. P. 62(d). An appellant may obtain a stay 

under Rule 62(d) “as a matter of right by posting a supersedeas 

bond acceptable to the court.” In re Combined Metals Reduction 

Co., 557 F.2d 179, 193 (9th Cir. 1977); see also ACLU of Nev. v. 

Masto, 670 F.3d 1046, 1066 (9th Cir. 2012).

Local Rule 151(d) provides that “a supersedeas bond 

shall be 125 percent of the amount of the judgment unless the 

Court otherwise orders.” Plaintiffs’ supersedeas bond in the 

amount of $108,747.00 constitutes 125 percent of the $86,996.93 

amended judgment. Defendants have filed a statement of nonopposition pursuant to Local Rule 230(c). (Docket No. 334.) 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that plaintiffs’ motion to stay 

the enforcement of the judgment (Docket No. 327) be, and the same 

hereby is, GRANTED; and the amended judgment (Docket No. 277) is 

hereby STAYED pending appeal.
