Date Filed Document Text
June 22, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 102 ORDER denying, without prejudice, 93 Motion for Bond. Defendants are directed to promptly disclose to plaintiffs' counsel the financial information with which they offered to furnish the Court. The parties shall further confer in good faith to resolve this dispute. If they are unable to reach a resolution, either side may seek the Court's approval of a particularized proposed form of security; the parties' submissions should be supported by evidentiary (financial) material, which may be filed under seal, with access limited to case participants. See attached for discussion. Ordered by Chief Mag. Judge Roanne L. Mann on 6/22/2018. (Proujansky, Josh)
June 13, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 101 MEMORANDUM and ORDER: Defendants motions 83 are denied in their entirety. See attached Memorandum and Order for details. Ordered by Judge Frederic Block on 6/13/2018. (Innelli, Michael)
March 15, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 79 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER: While defendants proposed bond covers only the amount of judgment, the Court is satisfied that defendants, well-financed real estate companies and their wealthy owner, will be fiscally able to pay interest and costs after the appellate process ends. Therefore, the proposed bond is approved, and enforcement of judgment is stayed pending appeal. Ordered by Judge Frederic Block on 3/15/2018. (Innelli, Michael)
March 6, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 76 MEMORANDUM and ORDER: Defendants motion 74 seeking a stay is granted in part and denied in part. In the exercise of its discretion, the Court grants defendants a seven-day extension of the current stay until March 14, 2018. This will afford defenda nts a total of 21 days from judgment to secure a supersedeas bond or, alternatively, an appropriate letter of credit. Regardless of which, if any, is presented to the Court, it will rule on its adequacy when submitted. Defendants alternative motion to stay pending post- trial motions is denied as premature, as no such motions have been filed. Ordered by Judge Frederic Block on 3/6/2018. (Innelli, Michael)

Accordingly, the matter shall proceed to trial on the VARA claim issue. In addition, as the plaintiffs counsel was unable to specify the number of artwork at issue, counsel is directed to submit a final list to the defendants and the Court on or before May 1, 2017.
