How do I request a stay of proceedings in small claims court?

In Nebraska, you can request a stay of proceedings in small claims court by filing a Motion to Stay. This should include reasons for the stay, and the duration of the stay. You must file your Motion to Stay with the court in the county where the case is being heard. Once you have filed your Motion to Stay, the court clerk will act on it, and a hearing will be scheduled for the court to review your request. The court will consider the reason you provided for the stay, and whether it is in the interests of justice to grant it. If the court grants your Motion to Stay, the lawsuit will be paused for the period of time identified in the Motion. This can allow you time to gather any additional evidence or information that you may need to present at trial. You must keep up with any progress made in the case by the court or other parties during the time period of the stay. If you are unable to successfully continue the lawsuit, the Motion to Stay can help protect you from any potential consequences by extending the time other parties have to file a claim against you. It is important to remember that once the stay has expired, the case will continue unless you make another motion or take other action.
