What must a licensee do to request a Writ of Supersedes?

1. File an application

2. Submit a formal complaint

3. Request a stay of enforcement

4. Pay a fine

The correct answer is: Request a stay of enforcement

To request a Writ of Supersedes, a licensee must request a stay of enforcement. A Writ of Supersedes is a legal order that temporarily suspends the enforcement of a judgment or order, usually pending the outcome of an appeal. By requesting a stay of enforcement, the licensee is essentially asking the court to halt any actions that would carry out the judgment in question, thus granting them temporary relief while the appellate process is taking place. This is an important legal mechanism that ensures that the licensee's rights are protected while they seek to challenge the original decision. The other options do not apply in this context. Filing an application is typically a more general request that may not specifically pertain to the context of a Writ of Supersedes. Submitting a formal complaint would generally be related to initiating grievances against actions or decisions but is not the correct procedure for obtaining a Writ. Paying a fine does not relate to requesting a stay; instead, it reflects compliance with a financial obligation potentially imposed by a different aspect of the legal process. Thus, the focus must be on the request for a stay of enforcement when it comes to this specific legal action.
