STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER RE SATISFACTION OF JUDGMENT
NO. 4:17-CV-04006-JST - 1 -
Plaintiffs Rearden LLC and Rearden MOVA LLC (“Rearden”) and Defendant Walt Disney
Pictures (“WDP”) (collectively, “Parties”), by and through their counsel, do hereby stipulate and
agree to entry of the attached proposed Order as follows:
WHEREAS, on May 23, 2024, this Court entered judgment in the above-captioned case in
favor of Rearden and against WDP on Rearden’s claims for vicarious copyright infringement arising
from Beauty and the Beast (2017), and further entered judgment in favor of Rearden, and against
WDP, on Rearden’s claim for actual damages in the amount of $250,638, and for WDP’s
apportioned profits in the amount of $345,098. ECF No. 734.
WHEREAS, on August 27, 2024, the Clerk entered an Amended Bill of Costs allowing
Rearden $89,230.74 in costs. ECF No. 759.
WHEREAS, on September 16, 2024, this Court entered judgment in the above-captioned
case in favor of Defendant WDP and against Rearden upon granting WDP’s Motion for Judgment as
a Matter of Law on Rearden’s claims for vicarious copyright infringement. ECF No. 764.
WHEREAS, Rearden timely appealed the Court’s ruling on WDP’s Motion for Judgment as
a Matter of Law on Rearden’s vicarious copyright infringement claim (ECF Nos. 682, 769), and on
September 11, 2025 the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed that order.
ECF No. 780.
WHEREAS, on December 12, 2025, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit issued its formal mandate (Dkt. No. 59.1, 9th Cir. Case No. 24-3970), thereby returning
jurisdiction to this Court.
NOW THEREFORE, for good cause, the parties stipulate as follows:
1. This Court’s judgment in WDP’s favor upon granting WDP’s Motion for Judgment as a
Matter of Law on Rearden’s claims for vicarious copyright infringement (ECF No. 764),
should be vacated.
2. The Court’s judgment in Rearden’s favor (ECF No. 734) shall be reinstated.
3. WDP’s payment of $702,511 to Rearden through Rearden’s counsel completely satisfies
all amounts owed by Defendant to Rearden on the judgment in Rearden’s favor (ECF No.
734), costs to Rearden, and post-judgment interest.
