North Dakota Rules of Civil Procedure
Rule 62(d)
“(d) Stay with Bond on Appeal. If an appeal is taken, the appellant may obtain a stay by supersedeas bond, except in an action described in Rule 62(a)(1) or (2). The bond may be given on or after filing the notice of appeal. The stay takes effect when the court approves the bond.”
N.D. Cent. Code 28-21-25
“1. In civil litigation under any legal theory, the supersedeas bond to be furnished to stay the execution of the judgment during the entire course of appellate review must be set in accordance with applicable laws or court rules, except that the total supersedeas bond that is required of all appellants collectively may not exceed twenty-five million dollars, regardless of the amount of the judgment.
2. Notwithstanding subsection 1, if an appellee proves by a preponderance of the evidence that an appellant is dissipating assets outside the ordinary course of business to avoid payment of a judgment, a court may require the appellant to post a supersedeas bond in an amount up to the total amount of the judgment.”
**In Federal cases the bond requirement is governed by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure “62(b) Stay by Bond or Other Security. At any time after judgment is entered, a party may obtain a stay by providing a bond or other security. The stay takes effect when the court approves the bond or other security and remains in effect for the time specified in the bond or other security.”**
