re: #85 Nerdy Fish

I know we’re all excited about the prospect, but as I said earlier, in all likelihood, he gets a stay from the appeals court. Given that there’s a financial monitor in place, and his money is already so tied up that he can’t even give it away to secure a bond, the risk to the State of granting a stay is low, and it preserves the status quo.

He was already denied a stay from a single judge, so his only hope now is a full panel reverses that decision. And I suspect that their decision will weigh heavily upon whether or not they believe the appeal has any chance of succeeding. If they feel he’s only delaying the inevitable, then they’ve no reason to grant him a stay.
