§ RULE 62. Stay of Proceedings to Enforce a Judgment

RULE62. Stay of Proceedings to Enforce a Judgment

(a) Automatic Stay; Exceptions. Except as stated herein, no writ of execution shall issue upon a judgment nor shall other proceedings be taken for its enforcement until the expiration of 10 days after its entry, unless otherwise ordered by the court, nor after that time pending the disposition of a motion for judgment as a matter of law made pursuant to Rule 50 or of a motion for a new trial made pursuant to Rule 59(a). Pending disposition of such motions and for good cause shown, the court may prescribe such conditions as are necessary to secure the benefit of the judgment to the party in whose favor it is entered. Unless otherwise ordered by the court, neither an interlocutory order in any action nor a final judgment awarding an injunction shall be stayed after its entry.

(b) Discretionary Stay. In its discretion and on such conditions for the security of the adverse party as are proper, the court may stay the execution of or any proceedings to enforce a judgment pending the disposition of a motion to alter or amend a judgment made pursuant to Rule 59(e), or of a motion for relief from a judgment or order made pursuant to Rule 60, or of a motion for amendment to the findings or for additional findings made pursuant to Rule 52(b).

(h) Stay of Judgment as to Multiple Claims or Multiple Parties. When a court has ordered a final judgment under the conditions stated in Rule 54(b), the court may stay enforcement of that judgment until the entering of a subsequent judgment or judgments and may prescribe such conditions as are necessary to secure the benefit thereof to the party in whose favor the judgment is entered.

(i) Stay of Judgment Pending Application for Appeal. On motion and on such conditions for the security of the adverse party as are proper, the court may stay the issuance of execution upon a judgment and any other proceedings for its enforcement for such reasonable time, to be specified by the court in the stay order, as will enable the moving party to present to an appellate court a petition for appeal from the judgment.
