Oklahoma Stay of Proceedings is a legal remedy used to pause civil or criminal proceedings in the state of Oklahoma. It is commonly used by defendants in criminal cases to stay the proceedings in order to give them time to pursue a motion to dismiss or other appeal. There are three primary types of Oklahoma Stay of Proceedings: an Automatic Stay, a Discretionary Stay, and a Conditional Stay. An Automatic Stay is granted by the court when a defendant files an appeal, while a Discretionary Stay is granted at the discretion of the judge. A Conditional Stay is issued when the defendant agrees to certain conditions set by the court, such as posting a bond or paying a fine.
