var WPFootnote1 = ' The panel opinion speaks at one point of "revers[ing]" the\
verdicts, Whitfield I, 431 F.3d at 19, but the mandate references\
the "vacat[ion]" of the verdicts. Given our disposition of this\
appeal, see text infra, we need not probe the significance (if any)\
of this discrepancy.\
'

var WPFootnote2 = ' Puerto Rico is deemed the functional equivalent of a state\
for the purposes of Rule 69(a). Cf. Goya Foods, Inc. v. Wallack\
Mgmt. Co., 290 F.3d 63, 70 (1st Cir. 2002) (holding to that effect\
with respect to Rule 64).\
'

var WPFootnote3 = ' The plaintiffs base this objection on two decisions of the\
Puerto Rico courts. See Ortiz-Feliciano v. Puerto Rico, 158 P.R.\
Dec. 62 (2002); Municipio de Guaynabo v. Secretario de Justicia,\
2000 WL 35527317, Civ. No. KLRA20060994 (P.R. Cir. Feb. 26, 2007). \
We have not been furnished with a certified translation of either\
decision. See 1st Cir. R. 30.0(d). Due to that omission, we need\
not consider arguments based on those decisions. \
'

var WPFootnote4 = ' The district court\'s May 25 order was never given teeth and\
was ultimately supplanted by the later deposit order. \
'

var WPFootnote5 = ' This is not to say that some post-judgment orders may not be\
independently appealable. See, e.g., Isidor Paiewonsky Assocs.,\
Inc. v. Sharp Props., Inc., 998 F.2d 145, 150 (3d Cir. 1993).\
