§ 5404. Stay. (a) Based upon security in foreign jurisdiction. If the

judgment debtor shows the supreme court that an appeal from the foreign

judgment is pending or will be taken, or that a stay of execution has

been granted, the court shall stay enforcement of the foreign judgment

until the appeal is concluded, the time for appeal expires, or the stay

of execution expires or is vacated, upon proof that the judgment debtor

has furnished the security for the satisfaction of the judgment required

by the state in which it was rendered.

(b) Based upon other grounds. If the judgment debtor shows the supreme

court any ground upon which enforcement of a judgment of the supreme

court of this state would be stayed, the court shall stay enforcement of

the foreign judgment for an appropriate period, upon requiring the same

security for satisfaction of the judgment which is required in this

state.
