How do I file a motion for a stay of execution in a criminal appeal?

In order to file a motion for a stay of execution in a criminal appeal in the state of Maryland, the party wishing to file must first file a Notice of Appeal with the Court of Special Appeals. This will begin the appeals process. After the Notice of Appeal is filed, the party wishing to file a motion for a stay of execution must then file a motion for leave to file an interlocutory appeal. This is a request to the court to allow the party to file an appeal before the case is concluded or a final judgment is entered. Once the motion for leave to file an interlocutory appeal is granted, the party will be allowed to file their motion for a stay of execution. The motion must include the grounds on which the party is seeking the stay of execution, such as insufficient legal representation, newly discovered evidence, or a lack of due process. Once a motion is filed, the court will review the motion and decide whether to grant or deny the request. If the court grants the request, the court will issue an order and all executions of the judgment will be stayed until the appeal is finalized.
