Stay on Appeal—Supersedeas Bond

(a) Motion for Stay. (1) Initial Motion in the Justice Court. A party must ordinarily move first in the justice court for the following relief: (A) a stay of the judgment or order of, or proceedings in, a justice court pending appeal; or (B) approval of a supersedeas bond. (2) Motion in the District Court; Conditions on Relief. A motion for the relief mentioned in Rule 73A(a)(1) may also be made in the district court and, if filed in the district court, is subject to the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure or any local court rules. (b) Proceedings Against Sureties. If a party gives security in the form of a bond or stipulation or other undertaking with one or more sureties, each surety submits to the jurisdiction of the justice court and irrevocably appoints the justice court clerk as the surety’s agent on whom any papers affecting the surety’s liability on the bond or undertaking may be served. On motion, a surety’s liability may be enforced in the justice court without the necessity of an independent action. The motion and any notice that the justice court prescribes may be served on the justice court clerk, who must promptly mail a copy to each surety whose address is known.
