execution of the judgment pending appeal unless the appellant executes a bond or other security
with good and sufficient sureties, approved by the clerk of court, made payable to the “Clerk of
Court” with the condition, failing the appeal, to satisfy such judgment as the appellate court may
render. The amount of the bond or other security shall be as specified below.
(A) If the judgment is for the payment of money only, the bond or other security
shall be in an amount equal to 150% of the amount of the judgment if the
judgment does not exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or 125% if the
judgment exceeds ten thousand dollars ($10,000).
(B) If the judgment is for the payment of money and also for the performance of
some other act or duty, or for the recovery or sale of property or the
possession thereof, the bond or other security shall be in such sum, in
addition to the sum required for money judgments only in (A) above, as the
trial court may in writing prescribe; or if appellant wishes to supersede the
judgment as to the payment of money only, the requirements of (A) above
shall apply.
(C) If the judgment is for the performance of some act or duty or for the
recovery or sale of property or the possession thereof (or if the judgment
includes the payment of money and appellant does not wish to supersede the
judgment in that respect), the bond or other security shall be in such sum as
the trial court may in writing prescribe.
Unless contested by the opposing party, the approval of the bond or other security by the
clerk of court shall constitute a stay of the judgment when the judgment is for the payment of
money only or the payment of money and some other act and the appellant wishes to supersede
the judgment as to the payment of money only. In the event the clerk of court declines to
approve the bond or other security, or if approval is contested, the requirements of Local Civ.
Rule 62.02 (D.S.C.) shall apply.
