(4) Bond or Other Security. A bond or other security may be
required as a condition for granting or continuing a stay. If a
trustee obtains a stay, a bond or other security may be re-
quired. But neither is required if a stay is obtained by the
United States or its officer or agency, or by direction of any
department of the United States government.
(c) AUTOMATIC STAY OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT’S ORDER, JUDG-
MENT, OR DECREE. If the district court or BAP enters a judgment
affirming the bankruptcy court’s order, judgment, or decree, a
stay of the district court’s or BAP’s judgment automatically stays
the bankruptcy court’s order, judgment, or decree while the appel-
late stay is in effect.
(d) POWER OF A COURT OF APPEALS OR ITS JUDGES NOT LIMITED.
This rule does not limit the power of a court of appeals or any of
its judges to:
(1) stay a judgment pending appeal;
(2) stay proceedings while an appeal is pending;
(3) suspend, modify, restore, vacate, or grant a stay or in-
junction while an appeal is pending; or
(4) issue any order appropriate to preserve the status quo or
the effectiveness of any judgment that might be entered.
