(IN CHAMBERS) - DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR STAY OF
EXECUTION OF JUDGMENT PENDING APPEAL (Dkt. 126,
filed April 2, 2018)

On March 13, 2018, the Court entered judgment in this case in the amount of
$1,530,000, with interest accruing at the rate of 1.95 percent per annum, and with
attorneys’ fees and costs in a sum to be determined. Dkt. 122.
On April 2, 2018, defendant DHL Forwarding filed the above-captioned motion to
stay execution of judgment pending appeal pursuant to Rule 62(d) of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure and to approve a supersedeas bond in the amount of $1,912,500, which is
125 percent of the damages award. Dkt. 126. On April 9, 2018, plaintiff Salvador
Navarro filed an opposition asserting that the proposed bond amount is insufficient to
cover the entirety of the judgment, interest, and costs. Dkt. 127. In reply, defendant
indicates that it is willing to increase the bond amount by the same 125 percent
proportion based on the outcome of plaintiff’s pending motion for attorneys’ fees. Dkt.
130.
By separate order, the Court awards plaintiff reasonable attorneys’ fees in the
amount of $616,687.50. In addition, plaintiff has filed an application to the Clerk of
Court to tax costs in the amount of $7,158.01. Dkt. 123. The Court will therefore
increase the proposed bond by $779,806.89, which is 125 percent of the combined
attorneys’ fees award and taxable costs claimed by plaintiff.
Accordingly, defendant’s motion for stay of execution of judgment pending appeal
is GRANTED. The Court approves the supersedeas bond in the amount of
$2,692,306.89.
