The District Court may stay the execution of its judgment upon the filing of a verified motion to stay execution of the judgment pending appeal within ten (10) days from the date of the entry of the judgment. If the motion is granted, the party granted the stay shall file a certified copy of the petition for extraordinary relief in the District Court within five (5) days after the filing of the petition in this Court to ensure the District Court is notified of the perfecting of the appeal.

C. It shall be the responsibility of the petitioner to ensure the record is filed with the Clerk of this Court. In order to seek relief, the petitioner shall file within thirty (30) days from the date the trial court's order is filed in the District Court:

It shall be the duty of the clerk of the trial court to mail, no later than one (1) day after the order granting or denying extraordinary relief is filed, a certified file-stamped copy of the order to the Petitioner and/or Counsel or record. The clerk of the trial court shall include a certificate of mailing with the order.
