In March 2000, landlord — presumably anticipating that the appeal process would thwart its efforts for early repossession, and thus hoping for the triple rent the subtenant had offered — moved to dismiss the appeal as moot, conceding enforceability of the holdover agreement. Subtenant opposed on the ground that it then would be exposed to an unconditional judgment of possession upon lifting of this court’s stay. In April, this court denied landlord’s motion without prejudice to the parties’ filing a “fully executed settlement agreement addressing all issues, including the status of liquidated damages pending [Subtenant’s] vacating the premises on May 15, 2000.”
