An appeal from the municipal court is taken by filing with the clerk of the district court a notice of appeal. When the defendant takes an appeal, the notice of appeal shall be accompanied by a bond to the city in the sum and with condition, fixed by the municipal judge as sufficient to secure the appearance of defendant, and the judgment and sentence of the municipal court. The clerk of the district court shall docket the appeal on the civil docket upon payment of a docket fee of ten dollars and shall transmit a copy of the notice of appeal to the municipal judge and municipal attorney. Within ten days after receipt of the notice of appeal from the clerk of the district court, the municipal judge shall file with the clerk of the district court, a transcript of all municipal court docket entries in the action, together with all pleadings and other documents, relating to the action. The docketing of an appeal operates as a stay of execution upon the municipal court in the action until final disposition of the appeal. (Prior code § 5-3-2)
