If an application is made to the appropriate appellate court for bail pending appeal, for an extension of time for filing the record on appeal, or for any other relief, the application shall be upon notice and shall show that application to the trial court is not practicable or that application has been made and denied, with reasons given for the denial, or that the action on the application did not afford the relief to which the applicant considers himself or herself to be entitled. The decision of the trial court regarding bail will not be disturbed by an appellate court unless it is demonstrated that the trial judge failed to exercise sound discretion.
