No. C 14-02848 WHA

ORDER GRANTING STAY

The automatic stay following final judgment in this action expires on August 6. 

Navigators has filed an ex parte application for a temporary stay pending resolution of post-trial

motions pursuant to Rule 62(b), which permits such stays “[o]n appropriate terms for the

opposing party’s security.” Navigators attempted, but was unable to obtain a mutually-agreeable

stipulation from Doublevision that it would not execute on the judgment pending resolution of

Navigators’ post-trial motions. Navigators is in the process of securing a supersedeas bond in

the amount of $3,420,000, which represents 150% of the amount of the judgment, as security for

the judgment pending resolution of post-trial motions and appeal. Navigators asks the Court to

approve the amount of the bond as sufficient to secure the judgment, but Navigators has not

provided an estimate for when that bond will issue. 

Good cause shown, Navigators’ motion for a temporary stay pending resolution of its

Rule 50(b) and Rule 59 motions is GRANTED, and the amount of the supersedeas bond is

APPROVED. The stay shall remain in effect pending the resolution of any post-trial motions

unless Navigators fails to secure and post the bond by AUGUST 19.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
