Rule 18 Stay Pending Review

Application for a stay of a decision or order of an agency pending direct review in the appellate division shall ordinarily be made in the first instance to the agency. A motion for such relief may be made to the appellate division or to a judge thereof but the motion shall show that application to the agency for the relief sought is not practicable, or that application has been made to the agency and denied, with the reasons given by it for denial, or that the action of the agency did not afford the relief which the applicant had requested. The motion shall also show the reasons for the relief requested and the facts relied upon, and if the facts are subject to dispute the motion shall be supported by affidavits or other sworn statements or copies thereof. With the motion shall be filed such parts of the record as are relevant to the relief sought. Reasonable notice of the motion shall be given to all parties to the proceeding in the appellate division. The court may condition relief under this rule upon the filing of a bond or other appropriate security.
