(a) Issuance. Executions on judgments must issue during the life of the judgment on the oral request of the party entitled to it or that party’s attorney. No execution or other final process will issue until the judgment on which it is based has been recorded and the time for serving a motion for new trial or rehearing has run. If a motion for new trial or rehearing is timely served, no execution or other final process will issue until it is determined. Execution or other final process may be issued on special order of the court at any time after judgment.
(b) Stay. The court before which an execution or other process based on a final judgment is returnable may stay the execution or other process and suspend the proceedings for good cause on motion and notice to all adverse parties.
