ORDER REGARDING SERVAX’S MOTION FOR SATISFACTION
OF THE REVISED AMENDED JUDGMENT

McMahon, C.J.:

On March 2, 2020, this Court settled the final outstanding issues raised in the cross-
motions to reopen and revise the judgment filed by Servax Bleu, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Servax”)
and judgment debtor Umami Sustainable Seafood, Inc. (“Umami”). (Dkt. Nos. 277, 287.)
Following the March 2 order (Dkt. No. 314) and the earlier order disposing of the parties’ cross
motions under Rule 60 and granting in part Servax’s motion for a writ of execution (Dkt. No.
306), the parties do not dispute that the current value of the Amended Judgment is
$1,471,763.74. (See Dkt. Nos. 315, 316.)

On March 6, 2020, Servax moved this Court to order the surety of Umami’s supersedeas
bond, Atlantic Specialty Insurance Company (“Atlantic”), to satisfy the revised Amendment
Judgment, “plus $49.67 per diem interest thereafter, within five business days.” (Dkt. No. 315 at
2.)

Umami opposed Servax’s motion, claiming that the present value of the judgment is not
final, and, therefore, payment cannot be due; specifically, Umami still had the opportunity to
take an appeal from the Court’s Rule 60 order. (See Dkt. No. 316.) Umami exercised that right
on March 16, 2020. (Dkt. No. 319.)

Umami already appealed the Amended Judgment, which the Second Circuit affirmed.
See Maricultura del Norte, S. de. R.L. de C.V., et al. v. Umami Sustainable Seafood, 769 Fed.
Appx. 44 (2d Cir. 2019). Any further appeal would “[bring] up for review only the denial of the
[Rule 60] motion and not the merits of the underlying judgment that could have been asserted on
direct appeal.” See, e.g., Nwabue v. SUNY at Buffalo/Univ. Med. Servs., 546 F. Appx. 21, 23 □□□
Cir. 2013) (citing Browder v. Dir., Dep’t of Corr., 434 U.S. 257, 263 n.7 (1978)). Nonetheless,
Umami may take an appeal on those narrow grounds.
Therefore, Servax’s request for an order for the amount of $1,471,763.74 is DENIED,
pending the resolution of Umami’s appeal.

SO ORDERED.
