CASE NO. 2:12-CV-8333-ODW (JCx) INGENUITY 13 LLC,
Plaintiff, Judge: Hon. Otis D. Wright, II Magistrate Judge: Hon. Jacqueline Chooljian v. Courtroom: 11 JOHN DOE, Complaint Filed: September 27, 2012 Trial Date: None set Defendant.
MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT OF EX PARTE APPLICATION FOR ORDER REDUCING APPELLATE BOND AMOUNT IN LIGHT OF RECENT NINTH CIRCUIT CONSOLIDATING ORDER
On July 9, 2013, the Ninth Circuit issued an order sua sponte consolidating eight appeals from this action and ordering the submission of a consolidated brief, to the extent practicable. In light of this development, the undersigned respectfully requests the Court to enter an administrative order reducing the amount of the appellate bond to reflect the putative John Doe’s appellate costs
calculation. The putative John Doe’s calculated appellate costs are as follows:
$5,000 in hard costs plus $45,000 in attorneys’ fees to defend the initial appeal. However, this case has been appealed by seven different parties, each of whom has undertaking [sic] their own, separate appeal. Accordingly, Doe has proposed security for each additional appeal (after the first one) in the amount of $15,000 each. $50,000 + ($15,000 x 6) = $140,000 to secure costs on appeal, per Fed. R. App. Proc. 7.

(ECF No. 175 at 8-9.) While the putative John Doe has not yet identified a single legal authority entitling him to attorneys’ fees on appeal, Movant nevertheless respectfully submits that the putative John Doe’s appeal bond may now be reduced by $90,000—an amount that reflects the consolidation of the six appeals beyond the original appeal (or as the putative John Doe puts it, $15,000 x 6). (id.) The Court should enter an order reducing the amount of the appellate bond to $45,585.66.
Movant has conferred with the other individuals subject to the bond order and has received their consent to the relief sought in this motion. Pietz objects to the relief sought herein. Movant was unable to contact Gibbs. Further, Movant is using Pietz’s ein calculations. In light of these
facts, Movant respectfully submits that the Court should grant this motion.
Respectfully submitted,
