The landlord brought a motion to lift the automatic stay of an eviction order, for security for costs, and to dismiss the tenant's appeal.
The tenant, who had not paid rent for eight months, requested an adjournment, which was denied.
The court lifted the automatic stay, finding the appeal appeared frivolous and vexatious, and ordered the tenant to post $2,500 as security for costs and pay $2,970 in costs for the motion.
