Except in suits in forma pauperis, or in suits whereby statute a party is relieved of prepaying fees
and costs or of giving security therefor, or unless otherwise ordered by the court, no process in rem
or of attachment must issue unless the party requesting issuance files a stipulation in the sum of
$250.00 with good and solvent surety, conditioned as provided in Admiralty Rule E(2)(b).
Whenever in these rules the filing of a bond or stipulation required or permitted, the party required
or permitted to file such bond or stipulation may, in lieu thereof, deposit the requisite amount of
money in the registry of the court as security.
