Rule 24 . Sureties.
(1) Surety's justification. A party may file an objection to the sufficiency of any bond or undertaking within 30 days after the filing of such bond or undertaking. The party filing the bond or undertaking, or the surety or sureties used by the party to file the bond or undertaking, shall file a response with the district court within 20 days after the service of notice of any objection. The failure of the party filing the bond or undertaking, or its surety or sureties, to file a response to the objection, shall dissolve any stay preventing the execution of the judgment or order from which the party filed the appeal.
(2) Enforcement of surety's liability. The provisions of sections 25-1-402 , 25-13-105 , 33-26-101 , 33-26-102 , and 72-31-101 apply to cases on appeal that require an undertaking or supersedeas bond with a surety.
(3) Proceedings against a surety. If a party gives security in the form of a bond or stipulation or other undertaking with 1 or more sureties, each surety submits to the jurisdiction of the district court and the supreme court and irrevocably appoints the district court's 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 district court without the necessity of an independent action. The motion and any notice that the district court or the supreme court prescribes may be served on the clerk of the district court, who promptly must mail a copy to each surety whose address is known.
