                          RULE 4.3

               STAY OF ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENT

    (a) Civil Case. The superior court may stay enforcement
of a judgment in a civil case after a notice of appeal has
been filed. The superior court may impose the same
conditions on the granting of a stay as those imposable on
parties before the courts of appeals.

    (b) Criminal Case. In a criminal case, the court of
limited jurisdiction has authority, subject to RCW 9.95.062
and 9.95.064, to stay enforcement of the sentence pending
appeal and to fix conditions of release. Where the sentence
is stayed pending appeal, the court of limited jurisdiction
has authority to revoke the stay upon proof of violation of
the conditions of release.
