Rule 61 Stay of Remittitur

XI. Opinions and Judgments

Any party desiring to have the remittitur stayed in this Court in order to appeal to, or seek a writ of certiorari in, the Supreme Court of the United States shall file in this Court a motion to stay the remittitur with a concise statement of the issues to be raised on appeal or in the petition for certiorari. Such motion shall be filed at the time of filing a motion for reconsideration or, if no motion for reconsideration is filed, within the time allowed for filing of one. See Rule 27.

A stay of remittitur will not be granted by this Court from the denial of a petition for certiorari.

A motion to stay the remittitur that is filed after the remittitur has been transmitted to the court from which the case was received shall not be accepted for filing.
