Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Maria T. Vullo (argued), Julie Fink, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, Seattle, WA; Carol J. Bernick, Davis Wright Tremaine, LLP, Portland, OR; Roger K. Evans, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc., New York, NY, for the plaintiffs-appellees.

Christopher A. Ferrara (argued), American Catholic Lawyers Association, Fairfield, NJ; Richard Thompson, Thomas More Law Center, Ann Arbor, MI, for the defendants-appellants.

Before: EDWARD LEAVY, RAYMOND C. FISHER and MARSHA S. BERZON, Circuit Judges.


FISHER, Circuit Judge:

At what all surely must hope is the conclusion of this long running litigation, we must address an issue of some importance under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 37(b) relating to the award of post-judgment interest to the plaintiffs-appellees on the punitive damages judgment they obtained against the defendants-appellants. This is a cautionary tale for all whose judgments on appeal are subject to the requirements of Rule 37(b).
