(the “Stati Parties”) confirming a foreign arbitral award of approximately $500 million against Respondent, the Republic of Kazakhstan. On April 9, 2018, Kazakhstan appealed that ruling to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
While that appeal was pending, the Stati Parties moved to attach Kazakhstan’s property in the United States in execution of the judgment, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1610(c), and sought to register the judgment in any judicial district of the United States, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1963. Kazakhstan opposed the motion and filed its own motion to stay execution of the judgment, as well as any post-judgment discovery, without posting a supersedeas bond.
In considering the motions, the court noted that under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 62(d), if an appellant posts a supersedeas bond, it would be entitled to a stay of proceedings as a matter of right. However, district courts may also exercise their discretion to grant unsecured or partially secured stays. Such stays are warranted only in “unusual circumstances,” where granting such a partially secured or unsecured stay would not endanger the judgment creditor’s interest in ultimate recovery.
Kazakhstan argued that, because the Stati Parties had already levied attachments in parallel proceedings in Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden and the Netherlands, the judgment was fully secured and the protection of a supersedeas bond was unnecessary. However, the court noted that Kazakhstan was actively seeking to vacate the attachments in these foreign jurisdictions, so those attachments, over which the court had no control, were inadequate as alternative security.
The court further noted the stringent standard for a stay pending appeal, the factors of which are: (1) whether the stay applicant has made a strong showing that he is likely to succeed on the merits; (2) whether the applicant will be irreparably injured absent a stay; (3) whether issuance of the stay will substantially injure the other parties interested in the proceeding; and (4) where the public interest lies. The court found that Kazakhstan had offered only conclusory and speculative arguments about its likelihood of success of the merits and risk of irreparable harm, and therefore denied Kazakhstan’s motion for an unsecured stay of the enforcement proceedings.
The court then considered the Stati Parties’ motion to execute the judgment. Under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, attachment of a foreign state’s property in the United States will only be permitted after the court determines that a reasonable period of time has elapsed following entry of judgment. Here, the Stati Parties had originally argued that one month was a reasonable period, and Kazakhstan had responded that two months was more appropriate. Because seven months had elapsed, the issue was moot as Kazakhstan had conceded that a shorter period would be reasonable.
The court thus granted the motion to execute the judgment in D.C., but denied the Stati Parties’ motion to register the judgment in any judicial district in the United States. The necessary “good cause” for such a motion would only exist if Kazakhstan did not have significant assets in the district sufficient to satisfy the judgment. Yet the Stati Parties conceded that they did not “have full insight” into what assets Kazakhstan owns in which jurisdictions. The motion was therefore denied without prejudice.
Finally, the court denied Kazakhstan’s motion for a protective order shielding it from discovery requests while the motion to stay was pending. The court directed the parties to meet and confer to narrow the areas of dispute and referred any matters not resolved to the magistrate.

Reason Closed: Hurricane and subsequent logging damage.
This new route makes Mt. Osceola more accessible since the grade follow is relatively easy. Unfortunately the hurricane of 1938 demolished the stands of virgin spruce through which this trail wound its way and the subsequent salvage logging operation will leave this area one of very high fire hazard. The trail will not be open to the general use of the public for an indefinite period.D’Wharf Port Dickson is located in the Port Dickson town near the PD Waterfront. Its location is ideal for a short staycation. The hotel is just walking distance to McDonalds, Kenny Rogers Roasters, Starbucks and a Seafood Restaurant. On weekends the carpark infront of the shopping centre becomes a Food Truck Park. With lots of affordable food and drinks. It was drizzling when we went there for dinner. But the food truck organiser fixed up some canopies so we had our dinner without getting wet.
The room was quite basic with the normal amenities. The bathroom comes with hot and cold showers. The room we had a small balcony with the view of the ocean. Wish they had a small table and chairs there, would love to have coffee while enjoying the view. TV Channels were limited only local channels. Luckily I have my Baseus & in 1 docking hub. We could watch Youtube and Netflix, so it was not boring during the night.
View from the other side of the building.
The main reason for choosing the D’Wharf Port Dickson was the large swimming pool. D’Wharf has a large adult pool and 2 small baby pool. As we were could’t cross borders, there were not much people in the hotel. So the pool was not too crowded. My kids swam and swam. Do take note of the pool times as they close the pool between 11am till 3pm.
At the same level as the pool, there is a children playground, outdoor gym and indoor gym. Their restaurant was not opened but it was not an issue as there were many food options around.
Room was quite clean with the basic amenities. The queen bed came with 4 pillows which was quite comfortable.
Due to its location, there were alot of dining options. You have the McDonalds, Kenny Rogers Roasters, A Seafood Restaurant and even Starbucks. On weekend the carpark in front of the Shopping Centre is converted into a Food Truck Park. Its where we had our first day dinner. Lots of food to choose from.
There is so call private beach but it didn’t look clean top swim. But it was alright as we came for the large swimming pool. As we still couldn’t cross borders, the pool was not crowded.

The 1980s brought us lots of extravagant women but none stand out more so in my mind than Tammy Faye Bakker. She was infamous for many things but I first witnessed her when she appeared on the second season of the VH1 reality television series The Surreal Life alongside Corey Feldman in 2004. Her larger-than-life personality and humorous outlook on life made me an instant fan.
First watch how I transformed into her and then scroll down for more of this fabulous outfit!
I personally love looks that involve a lot of make-up because I feel like they’re great for last minute costumes. The whole “cat” or “deer” look never did it for me – gimme drama!
Definitely have fun with this disguise and tag me on social media if I inspired you for Halloween! My @handles are at the bottom of this post. Survival kits should contain information and supplies for your home or to take with you to a shelter. Below is a basic or "starter" list of supplies you should consider including in your kit. Keep the items that you would most likely use in an easy-to-carry container, such as a camping backpack or duffle bag. Reassess your family's needs and your supplies every year.
*Remember to listen to local radio and TV stations for emergency information and evacuation instructions.
Remember, pets are not allowed in shelters, so be sure to make alternate sheltering plans for your pet(s). Service animals are allowed in Nassau County shelters. If you bring your service animal with you, have water, food, medicines, toys and other necessities.
Every workplace and school should have an evacuation plan and emergency procedures. Become familiar with evacuation plans in areas where you spend a great deal of time. You may want to store a few essential items at these places as well.
