This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((More citations needed|date=December 2009))
A '''supersedeas bond''' (often shortened to ''supersedeas''), also known as a '''defendant's appeal bond''', is a type of [[surety bond]] that a court requires from an [[appellant]] who wants to delay payment of a [[judgment (law)|judgment]] until an [[appeal]] is over.<ref>[[Federal Rules of Civil Procedure|Fed. R. Civ. P.]] 62(d)</ref><ref>[[Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure|Fed. R. App. P.]] 8(b)</ref>

This is a feature of [[common law]], and in particular the American legal system. In most European countries an appeal leads to an automatic [[stay of execution]], unless the judge expressly ordered immediate execution.

== Definition  ==
According to ''[[Black's Law Dictionary]]'', a supersedeas bond (also known as an "appeal bond") is:
((blockquote|[A] bond required of one who petitions to set aside a judgment or execution and from which the other party may be made whole if the action is unsuccessful.))

== Purpose and usage ==

After [[litigation]] and a [[civil law (common law)|civil]] [[court ruling]], the losing party can [[appeal]] against the judgment. At this point, both the [[plaintiff]] and [[defendant]] could have similar concerns. An appeal takes time – in some cases many years. After the case is finally decided, whichever party wins will perhaps be more "out of pocket" from its costs. Also time will have passed, and the losing party may be [[bankrupt]] or have used the time to hide assets or otherwise frustrate efforts to collect on the judgment if they lose their appeal.

Therefore, it is often either a requirement of the law, or an order of the court, that prior to commencing its appeal processes, the losing party must provide a [[surety bond]] – money it pays to the court or a third party, to demonstrate its [[good faith]] and commitment to paying judgment if it loses, and in some cases to show that their appeal is not [[frivolous litigation|frivolous]] or merely a tactic to delay or avoid payment. This is known as a supersedeas (or "appeal") bond, and shows that they can and will cover the damages or fees awarded – including any additional costs of the appeal.

The bond may not be – and often is not – the exact value of the ruling. In some cases it is significantly larger since it is intended to cover interest or other costs which may arise on appeal.

A supersedeas bond is often paid in full – and may be handled via [[insurance]] or [[underwriter|underwriting]] in some cases.

==Supersedeas bond rules in the United States==
The amount and availability of a supersedeas bond depends on state regulations and case specifics.

In [[New Jersey]], the posting of a bond is not required to appeal a decision.  However, if the party wishes to stay a judgment during the appeal, a motion must be made with the [[New Jersey Superior Court|Superior Court]], and the court can require the posting of a bond or cash deposit under R.2:9-5 and R.2:9-6. The same rule applies in Delaware under the [[Constitution of Delaware|state constitution]]<ref>((cite web |url=http://delcode.delaware.gov/constitution/constitution-05.shtml#P572_88069 |title=The Delaware Constitution ((!)) Article IV. Judiciary ((!)) § 1. Creation of courts))</ref> as well as the court rules.<ref>((cite web |url=http://courts.delaware.gov/forms/download.aspx?id=39368 |title=Rules of the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware |access-date=2016-02-29 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303190900/http://courts.delaware.gov/forms/download.aspx?id=39368 |archive-date=2016-03-03 ))</ref><ref>((cite web |url= http://courts.delaware.gov/forms/download.aspx?id=39348 |title=Rules of Civil Procedure for the Superior Court of the State of Delaware |publisher=Delaware Courts - State of Delaware))</ref>

[[Arizona]] Rules of Civil Appellate Procedure, Rule 7, provides that "except in cases involving custody of children", an appellant may obtain a stay on a lower court judgment and all other further proceedings by filing a supersedeas bond in the [[Arizona Superior Court|Superior Court]].<ref>ARCAP 7(a)(1)</ref>

In [[California]], for instance, the supersedeas bond amount must be 150% of the judgment amount, whereas in Florida, the amount may include two years of statutory interest for those fees.<ref name="jurisco">((cite web |url= http://jurisco.com/supersedeas-bonds-money-judgment-appeals/ |title=Supersedeas Bonds And Money Judgment Appeals |date=13 March 2012 |publisher=Juris Co))</ref>

In [[Florida]], the amount of a supersedeas bond is limited to no more than $50 million per appellant.<ref>((cite web |url= https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2011/45.045/ |title=2011 Florida Statutes |publisher=Florida Senate))</ref> State supreme court justice Carlson seems to be concerned with how the state has failed to differentiate between supersedeas and [[cost bond]]s. Which he stated "is problematic, because these terms are not synonymous. The bond required to perfect an appeal is a cost bond, which is sometimes referred to as an appeal bond. The bond required to obtain a stay of execution of a judgment while the judgment is being appealed is a supersedeas bond, also referred to as an appeal bond."<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.didntdoitbailbonds.com/types-of-bail-bonds/|title=Types of Bail Bonds ((!)) Money, Surety, & Superseadeas ((!)) What To Know|last=|first=|date=April 12, 2012|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=))</ref>

In [[Texas]], the amount of a supersedeas bond (referred to as "security for judgments pending appeal" in the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code) is determined as follows:<ref>((cite web |url= http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/CP/htm/CP.52.htm |title=Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, Section 52.006))</ref>
* Under subsection (a),  the amount of the bond must equal 1) the amount of compensatory damages awarded in the judgment, 2) interest for the estimated duration of the appeal, and 3) costs awarded in the judgment.
* Under subsection (b), notwithstanding the requirements of subsection (a), the security cannot exceed the lesser of 1) 50 percent of the judgment debtor's net worth or 2) USD$25 million.
* Under subsection (c), if the judgment debtor shows that the amount of the security would cause "substantial economic harm", the trial court is required to lower it to an amount that would not cause such harm.
* Subsection (d) allows an appellate court to review and modify the amount of security, but not to exceed the limitations above.
* Subsection (e) permits a trial court to enter orders preventing dissipation or transfer of assets to avoid satisfaction of the judgment, but not so as to prohibit use, transfer, conveyance, or dissipation of assets in the normal course of business.

==Bond advantages==
Obtaining a supersedeas bond may appear to be judicial red tape; however, it serves the best interest of the defendant and plaintiff. The appellant uses a supersedeas bond to stay the execution of the judgment, meaning the appellant does not have to pay the full amount of the judgment until the appellate court makes a ruling and then only if the ruling is to affirm the judgment. A surety bond also replaces the need for collateral. The plaintiff, or party to whom the money judgment is awarded, is fully protected by the bond and ensured payment, that is if the appealing party can afford the bond.<ref name="jurisco" />
