§ 26.1-02-18 — Stay of enforcement

If the defendant shows the district court that an appeal from the foreign decree is pending or
will be taken, or that a stay of execution has been granted, the court shall stay enforcement of
the foreign decree until the appeal is concluded, the time for appeal expires, or the stay of
execution expires or is vacated, upon proof that the defendant has furnished the security for the
satisfaction of the decree required by the state in which it was rendered. If the defendant shows
the district court any ground upon which enforcement of a decree of any district court of this
state would be stayed, the court shall stay enforcement of the foreign decree for an appropriate
period, upon requiring the same security for satisfaction of the decree as would be required in
this state.
