$18,750 with the Clerk of the Court as a supersedeas bond to stay Defendant’s execution of the 

sanctions award pending resolution of the appeal pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 

62(d). The Parties further stipulated that if Defendant prevailed on appeal, the total sanctions 

amount, plus interest and Defendant’s costs on appeal, would be deducted from the bond and 

paid to Defendant, and the remainder, if any, would be returned to Plaintiffs;

WHEREAS, on January 22, 2016, the Court of Appeals, on further consideration, 

reinstated its judgment affirming this Court’s judgment in full, and that judgment took effect on 

February 19, 2016, when the Court of Appeals issued its mandate;
