4th Cir. R. 8
Stay or Injunction Pending Appeal
Filing a notice of appeal does not automatically stay the operation of the judgment, order or
decision for which review is sought. If an application to the district court for temporary relief
pending appeal is not practicable, counsel must make a specific showing of the reasons the
application was not made to the district court in the first instance. Any motion to the Court of
Appeals should include copies of all previous applications for relief and their outcome and any
relevant parts of the record. A Disclosure of Corporate Affiliations statement must accompany the
motion and any response unless the parties have previously filed disclosure statements with the
Court in the case. See FRAP 26.1 and Local Rule 26.1. Filing and assignment of emergency
motions for stay or injunction pending appeal are governed by Local Rule 27(e). An order granting
a stay or injunction pending appeal remains in effect until issuance of the mandate or further order
of the Court and may be conditioned upon the filing of a supersedeas bond in the district court.
