PRETRIAL ORDER No. 144: ORDER REGARDING OBJECTIONS TO FORM OF JUDGMENT

Dkt. Nos. 3272, 3350.

Monsanto is correct that it is unnecessary and potentially confusing to include language about appealability. However, the Court declines to exercise its discretion to grant Monsanto's request for a stay of enforcement pending appeal. See Max Sound Corp. v. Google LLC, No. 5:14-cv-04412-EJD, 2019 WL 480544, at *1-2 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 7, 2019) (quoting Dillon v. City of Chicago, 866 F.2d 902, 904-05 (7th Cir. 1988)). Finally, although Monsanto did not raise it, the post-judgment interest rate contained in the proposed judgment is legally incorrect. See AT&T Co. v. United Comp. Sys., Inc., 98 F.3d 1206, 1209 (9th Cir. 1996) ("In diversity actions, state law determines the rate of prejudgment interest, and postjudgment interest is governed by federal law."); see also Fid. Fed. Bank, FSB v. Durga Ma Corp., 387 F.3d 1021, 1023-24 (9th Cir. 2004). The federal interest rate applies to this judgment. See 28 U.S.C. § 1961.

The Court will enter judgment in accordance with this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
