Stay Orders

1. A party may move in the district court for an order staying a lower court proceeding or order where the party: (A) Has first requested a stay of the proceeding or order in the lower court and that court has denied the request; or (B) Can demonstrate that moving first in the lower court would be impracticable. 2. The party moving for a stay must provide the lower court’s reasons for denying the requested stay, where applicable, and make a preliminary showing why there may be a miscarriage of justice if the stay is not granted. 3. The district court may grant or deny the motion for stay, or order such other relief as may be warranted in the circumstances. [Added; effective March 1, 2021.]
