UNITED STATES, Defendant-Appellee, and AVIATION GROUND EQUIMENT CORP., Defendan,t-Appellee. 2011-5016 Appeal from the United States C0urt of Federa1 Claims in case no. 10-CV-379, Seni0r Judge Eric G. Brug- g'ink. ON MOTION Before LOURIE, GAJARsA, and L1NN, Circuit Judges. LINN, Circu,it Judge. 0 R D E R ESSEX ELECTRO ENGINEERS V. US 2 Essex E1ectro Engineers, Inc., moves for a stay, pend~ ing disposition of this appea1, of various orders and the judgment entered by the United States Court of Federal C1aims. Essex also moves for an injunction and submits a "suppiemental motion" in which it raises new arguments Aviation Ground Equipment Corp. opposes. The United States opposes. To obtain a stay or an injunction, pending appeal, a movant must establish a strong likelihood of success on the merits or, failing that, nonetheless demonstrate a substantial case on the merits provided that the harm factors militate in its favor. Stcmdard Havens Prods. v. Gen,cor In,dus., 897 F.2d 511, 513 (Fed. Cir. 199O) (citing Ht`lton v. Brau,nskill, 481 U.S. 77U, 778 (1987)). In decid- ing whether to grant a stay, pending appeal, this court “assesses the moVant’s chances of success on the merits and weighs the equities as they affect the parties and the public."
