(A) Either party may appeal to the District Court within 15 days of judgment and sentence in the Municipal Court. However, the plaintiff may appeal only when the Municipal Court has held an ordinance or section invalid or unconstitutional, or has held that the complaint is not legally sufficient.
(B) The Municipal Judge may, if he or she has convicted the defendant, impose an appeal bond on him or her in an amount and with conditions sufficient to secure his or her appearance for trial.
(C) A notice of appeal, by either party, is filed with the Clerk of the District Court, who then transmits a copy to the Municipal Judge and the Municipal Attorney. Within ten days of receipt of the notice of appeal, the Municipal Judge must file a transcript of the docket entries and all of the pleadings and other documents with the Clerk of the District Court.
(D) If the defendant appeals from Municipal Court, his or her sentence may not be executed until final disposition of the appeal.
