Narrative:

As we leveled at 8;000 feet approaching luvly; the TCAS RA commanded a climb to avoid a rapidly ascending aircraft. We complied with the RA and climbed to 8;250 feet for approximately 10 seconds. We informed approach that we were complying with an RA. We subsequently returned to 8;000 feet.
