United States of America v. Spectrum Brands, Inc.

Filing 238

ORDER re 236 Motion to Stay Pending Appeal filed by Spectrum Brands, Inc. Signed by District Judge William M. Conley on 10/25/2017. (voc)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
15-cv-371-wmc
SPECTRUM BRANDS,
Defendant.
The court is in receipt of defendant’s motion for a partial stay pending appeal. (Dkt.
#236.) Specifically, defendant requests that the court stay enforcement of the $821,675 civil
penalty for failure to timely report -- without bond -- and the permanent injunction, sans ¶ 5(B)
with which it reports having already complied.

(Id. at 1-2.)

Relying on defendant’s

representations that the government neither opposes the stay on the failure to timely report
civil damages, nor the request that the stay be entered without bond (id. at 2; dkt. #237 at 7),
the court will STAY that portion of its judgment pending a response by the government and
decision on the motion as a whole.
Consistent with the judgment and defendant’s representations (dkt. #234 at 16; dkt.
#235 at 1; dkt. #236 at 1), defendant’s $1,115,000 penalty for sale of recalled products is still
due on or before October 30, 2017, as originally ordered.
Entered this 25th day of October, 2017.
BY THE COURT:
/s/
