(a) Bond or Other Security. Unless otherwise ordered by the presiding judge, a bond or
other security staying execution of a money judgment shall be in the amount of the
judgment, plus 20% of that amount to cover interest and any award of damages for delay,
plus $250.00 to cover costs. The parties may waive the requirement of a bond or other
security by stipulation. The bond shall:
(1) confirm whether the security provider is on the Treasury Department’s list of
certified companies, unless the court orders otherwise (a link to this list may be
found on the court’s website); and
(2) confirm the underwriting limitation, if applicable for the type of security.
(b) Electronic Filing Requirement for Bonds. When a bond or other security is posted for
any reason, it must be electronically filed in the case by the posting party. The paper
original of the security shall be retained by the posting party unless otherwise directed by
the court.
