Cal. Fin. Code § 17623
An appeal from a judgment enjoining the commissioner from further proceedings and directing the commissioner to surrender the business, property, and assets to the licensee does not operate as a stay of the judgment, unless the trial court in its discretion so orders. If the judgment dismisses the action an appeal therefrom does not operate as a stay of the judgment but the court rendering the judgment may, in its discretion enjoin the commissioner pending the appeal, from further proceedings and direct the commissioner, pending the appeal, to surrender the business, property, and assets to the licensee, if an undertaking is given as required by Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 916) of Title 13 of Part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
