The purpose of the bond is to maintain the status quo at the time of finial judgment. If a debtor can prove that the prevailing party will not be prejudiced by waiting to collect their judgment, then execution on that judgment can be stayed during the appeal. Although the judgment is final, the appellate court could find some error in the district court's actions and reverse that judgment. The bond allows the debtor to avoid the hardship of having their property liened and wages garnished if they can prove they will pay if the appellate court upholds the judgment.

What are the Clerk's duties releasing a supersedeas bond when a dismissal has been filed?

When the Clerk's office receives the signed order from the judge THEN they take action on whatever it is they need to do to carry it out. Just because a motion has been filed doesn't mean that the Clerk does ANYTHING. The motion has to be reviewed and ruled upon by the judge, which, in itself may take some time. Then the action doesn't become effective unless, and until, the judge signs the order.Supersedeas is a difficult concept to grasp thus, a definition of a Supersedeas Bond follows:Supersedeas is a Latin term meaning "you shall desist." It is an order to suspend the powers of an officer in certain cases, or to stay proceedings under another writ. A writ of error, when bail is entered, and a writ of certiorari to remove the proceedings of an inferior into a superior court has the effect of a supersedeas, in that they operate to stay proceedings.In some jurisdictions, in civil cases, a notice of appeal filed serves as supersedeas upon payment of all costs in the trial court by the appellant and a supersedeas bond or other form of security may or may not be required to filed. A supersedeas is a suspension of the power of a court to issue an execution on the judgment or decree from which an appeal has been taken. If a writ of execution has issued, supersedeas is a prohibition against execution of the writ. Supersedeas preserves the status quo of the case. It does not, however, set aside or annul the trial court's judgment
