Wells Fargo Bank N.A. v. Rogers

OPINION

NORRIS, Judge:

¶ 1 Arizona Revised Statutes (“AR.S.”) section 12-2108 (Supp. 2015) and the provisions of Arizona Rule of Civil Appellate Procedure 7 (“Rule 7”) that track this statute limit the amount of a bond a party must furnish to stay the enforcement of, or execution on, a judgment. The dispositive issue in this special action is whether the statute and the matching provisions in Rule 7 bar a superior court from taking other steps to preserve the status quo or the effectiveness of a judgment it has stayed pending appeal. We hold they do not.
