Opinion:
ORDER
NEWMAN, Circuit Judge.
Timken Company moves for a stay, pending appeal, of the judgment of the United States Court of International Trade. Timken states that SKF Aeroengine Bearings UK, SKF USA Inc., FAG Italia, S.P.A., Schaeffler Group USA, Inc., Schaeffler KG, the Barden Corporation, and the Barden Corporation (U.K.) Ltd. do not oppose. JTEKT Corporation, Koyo Corporation of U.S.A., NSK Corporation, NSK Ltd., and NSK Europe Ltd. oppose. Timken also states that the United States consents to the motion, but the government did not itself file separate papers.
The power to stay a judgment pending appeal is part of a court's "'traditional equipment for the administration of justice.' " Nken v. Holder, 556 U.S. 418, 129 S.Ct. 1749, 1757, 173 L.Ed.2d 550 (2009) (citing Scripps-Howard Radio, Inc. v. FCC, 316 U.S. 4, 9-10, 62 S.Ct. 875, 86 L.Ed. 1229 (1942)). A stay, however, is not a matter of right but instead an exercise of judicial discretion. Nken, 129 S.Ct. at 1761. The party requesting a stay bears the burden of showing that the circumstances justify an exercise of that discretion based on consideration of four factors, the first two of which are the most critical: (1) whether the stay applicant has made a strong showing that he is likely to succeed on the merits; (2) whether the applicant will be irreparably injured absent a stay; (3) whether issuance of the stay will substantially injure the other parties interested in the proceeding; and (4) where the public interest lies. Hilton v. Braunskill, 481 U.S. 770, 776, 107 S.Ct. 2113, 95 L.Ed.2d 724 (1987).
As a result of the International Trade Commission's final negative injury determination, by statute, Commerce must revoke the antidumping duty order regarding the subject ball bearings in suit. 19 U.S.C. § 1675(d)(2). While Timken requests that this court stay the effect of this directive, the United States Court of International Trade in denying the same relief explained that Timken's alleged harm with regard to upcoming third sunset review appears to be merely "speculative." Given § 1675(d)(2)'s clear directive and the standard of review on appeal, without prejudicing the ultimate disposition of this case by a merits panel, we conclude based upon the papers submitted that Timken has not established the requisite likelihood of success and sufficient irreparable harm necessary to obtain a stay of the Court of International Trade's judgment pending appeal.
Accordingly,
It Is Ordered That:
The motion for a stay, pending appeal, of the judgment of the Court of International Trade is denied.
