            Appellee,
Christopher Paul Welch, has filed a motion for stay of proceedings.  Appellee
filed for divorce and obtained a no-answer default judgment after appellant was
served in North Carolina.  Appellee has since been deployed and requests that
this appeal be stayed until June 2011 pursuant to 50 App. U.S.C. § 522 of the
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.  Section 522 does not apply in this appeal
because it authorizes a stay “before final judgment” only and because
appellee’s inability to appear does not affect this appeal.  
The
motion is denied.
