MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
The defendant Greyhound Lines, Inc. filed a motion [Doc. 481], seeking a stay of execution of the judgment entered by this Court on August 11, 2005 pending the defendant's appeal of that judgment. The defendant's motion [Doc. 481] indicates that a proposed supersedeas bond would be filed within the next ten days. Subsequently, the defendant filed another motion [Doc. 482], seeking a stay of execution of judgment and submitting a proposed supersedeas bond. Accordingly, the Court finds that the defendant's first motion for stay of execution [Doc. 481] is moot and should be DENIED AS MOOT.
With respect to the defendant's second motion [Doc. 482], the Court has reviewed the pleadings, and it appears to the Court that the proposed supersedeas bond is in the correct form, is in a sufficient amount to provide adequate security for those opposing the appeal, and is backed by a duly-qualified surety. Therefore, the defendant's Motion for Stay of Execution of Judgment and Approval of Supersedeas Bond [Doc. 482] is GRANTED. It is ORDERED that:
1. The supersedeas bond in the form, amount, and with the sureties as shown in the Exhibit to the Motion for Stay of Execution of Judgment and Approval of Supersedeas Bond [Doc. 482] is APPROVED by this Court; and
2. Any proceedings to enforce the judgment entered in this action on August 11, 2005 are STAYED pending the determination of Greyhound Lines, Inc.'s appeal from this judgment, provided that Greyhound Lines, Inc. file the supersedeas bond approved in this Order on or before February 17, 2006.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
