Rule 7 Bond for Costs on Appeal

Rule 7 was amended, effectiveMarch 1, 2003. The amended language is derived from Fed.R.App.P. 7 and replaces language derived from superseded statutes. The amendment removes the requirement that an appellant post a bond in all appeals and instead gives the district court discretion to decide when security for costs on appeal should be required.
