N.D. Cent. Code § 28-27-09.1: From whom undertaking not required unless ordered by court

When the state, or any state officer, or state board, in a purely official capacity, or any public corporation, or any municipal corporation within the state, takes an appeal, service of the notice of appeal perfects the appeal and stays the execution or performance of the judgment or order appealed from and no undertaking need be given, but the supreme court on motion may require sureties to be given in such form and manner as it shall prescribe as a condition of the further prosecution of the appeal.
