NEW YORK, Aug 15 (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Friday granted Argentina's request to put on temporary hold a judge's order that it turn over its 51% stake in oil and gas company YPF YPFDm.BA to partially satisfy a $16.1 billion judgment won by two investors.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan stayed U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska's June 30 turnover order while Argentina appeals.
