Order, June 29, 2011, ECF No. 60.
S.
Haynes’s
The clerk entered
judgment in favor of the bank and against Haynes the same day.
Judgment, June 29, 2011, ECF No. 61.
Presently pending before
the Court is Haynes’s Motion to Stay Judgment Pending Appeal
(ECF No. 63).
As discussed below, the motion is denied.
For the Court to stay its order pending appeal, Haynes must
show (1) a substantial likelihood that he will prevail on the
merits of the appeal, (2) a substantial risk of irreparable
injury to Haynes unless the stay is granted, (3) no substantial
harm to other interested persons, and (4) no harm to the public
interest.
E.g., Touchston v. McDermott, 234 F.3d 1130, 1132
(11th Cir. 2000); accord Hilton v. Braunskill, 481 U.S. 770, 776
(1987).
Here, a stay is not appropriate because Haynes has not
shown a substantial case on the merits.
Moreover, Haynes has
not shown that the balance of equities weighs heavily in favor
of granting the stay.
Though Haynes may suffer irreparable
injury if the bank decides to initiate foreclosure proceedings
during
the
pendency
of
Haynes’s
appeal,
neither
the
interest nor the public interest would be served by
bank’s
further
delaying the bank’s ability to pursue its right to initiate a
sale under power.
For all of these reasons, the Court denies Haynes’s Motion
to Stay Judgment Pending Appeal (ECF No. 63).
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 14th day of July, 2011.
