review under the Rules for Appeal of Decisions of Courts of Limited Jurisdiction. The
proceedings to which those rules apply are defined by RALJ 1.1.

posts cash bail or a bond to the state which shall be deposited with the clerk of the court of
limited jurisdiction, in such reasonable sum with sureties as the lower court judge may require,
upon the following conditions: that the defendant will diligently prosecute the appeal, and will
appear at the court appealed to and comply with any sentence of the superior court, and will, if
the appeal is dismissed for any reason, comply with the sentence of the lower court.
(c) Imposition of Sentence. If the appellant fails to provide security, sentence imposed
shall be executed.
