W.R.C.P.Ch.C. 62
Stay of Proceedings to Enforce a Judgment
(a) Automatic Stay; Exceptions for Injunctions, and Receiverships. Except as
stated in this rule or otherwise provided by statute or chancery court order, no
execution may issue on a judgment, nor may proceedings be taken to enforce
it, until 14 days have passed after its entry. But unless the chancery court
orders otherwise, an interlocutory or final judgment in an action for an
injunction or a receivership is not stayed after being entered, even if an appeal
is taken.
(b) Stay Pending Disposition of a Motion. On appropriate terms for the
opposing party’s security, the chancery court may stay the execution of a
judgment — or any proceedings to enforce it — pending disposition of any of
the following motions:
(1) Not Applicable;
(2) under Rule 52(b), to amend the findings or for additional findings;
(3) under Rule 59, for a new trial or to alter or amend a judgment; or
(4) under Rule 60, for relief from a judgment or order.
(c) Injunction Pending an Appeal. While an appeal is pending from an
interlocutory order or final judgment that grants, dissolves, or denies an
injunction, the chancery court may suspend, modify, restore, or grant an
injunction on terms for bond or other terms that secure the opposing party’s
rights.
(d) Stay with Bond on Appeal. If an appeal is taken, the appellant may
obtain a stay by supersedeas bond, except in the limitations contained in the
Wyoming Rules of Appellate Procedure and an action described in the last
sentence of Rule 62(a). The bond may be given upon or after filing the notice of
appeal or after obtaining the order allowing the appeal. The stay takes effect
when the chancery court approves the bond.
(e) Stay Without Bond on Appeal by the State, Its Officers, or Its Agencies.
The chancery court must not require a bond, obligation, or other security from
the appellant when granting a stay on an appeal by the State, its officers, or its
agencies.
(f) Supreme Court’s Power Not Limited. This rule does not limit the power of
the supreme court or one of its justices:
(1) to stay proceedings — or suspend, modify, restore, or grant an
injunction — while an appeal is pending; or
(2) to issue an order to preserve the status quo or the effectiveness of the
judgment to be entered.
(g) Stay with Multiple Claims or Parties. A chancery court may stay the
enforcement of a final judgment entered under Rule 54(b) until it enters a later
judgment or judgments, and may prescribe terms necessary to secure the
benefit of the stayed judgment for the party in whose favor it was entered.
