Oberlin: oops, indeed. It's not quite as simple as I assumed from the headline; the trial court stayed its judgment when Oberlin first appealed it to the mid-level appellate court, "until the exhaustion of all appeals." Oberlin apparently thought it was still covered. The plaintiff, however, is arguing that the trial court didn't have that authority, and that the appellate court's mandate for execution of the judgment overruled and terminated the stay even though Oberlin has now appealed further to the state supreme court. It does look like somebody should have exercised extra caution and sought to clarify the continuing status of the stay.
