Any bond or undertaking required in a proceeding must be set by an order or by consent. The
bond or undertaking may be in the form of a surety, cash or check. A surety holding authority
from the Secretary of the Treasury to do business in the District of Columbia and having an
agent for service of process therein may be approved by the Clerk and filed. No officer of the
Court or member of the bar in active practice will be accepted as a surety.
