Except as otherwise provided in §§ 15-40-5 and 15-40-6 , upon the filing of a motion under § 15-40-3 : (1) All other proceedings between the moving party and responding party, including discovery and a pending hearing or motion, are stayed; and (2) On further motion by the moving party, the court may stay a hearing or motion involving another party, or discovery by another party, if the hearing or ruling on the motion would adjudicate, or the discovery would relate to, an issue material to the motion under § 15-40-3 . A stay under this section remains in effect until entry of an order ruling on the motion under § 15-40-3 and expiration of the time under § 15-40-11 for the moving party to appeal the order. During a stay under this section, the court must allow limited discovery if a party shows that specific information is necessary to establish whether a party has satisfied or failed to satisfy a burden under § 15-40-9 and the information is not reasonably available unless discovery is allowed. Except as otherwise provided in §§ 15-40-5 and 15-40-6 , if a party appeals from an order ruling on a motion under § 15-40-3 , all proceedings between all parties to the action must be stayed. The stay must remain in effect until the conclusion of the appeal.
