U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 1963. Registration of judgments for enforcement in other districts
A judgment in an action for the recovery of money or property
entered in any court of appeals, district court, bankruptcy court,
or in the Court of International Trade may be registered by filing
a certified copy of the judgment in any other district or, with
respect to the Court of International Trade, in any judicial
district, when the judgment has become final by appeal or
expiration of the time for appeal or when ordered by the court that
entered the judgment for good cause shown. Such a judgment entered
in favor of the United States may be so registered any time after
judgment is entered. A judgment so registered shall have the same
effect as a judgment of the district court of the district where
registered and may be enforced in like manner.
A certified copy of the satisfaction of any judgment in whole or
in part may be registered in like manner in any district in which
the judgment is a lien.
The procedure prescribed under this section is in addition to
other procedures provided by law for the enforcement of judgments.
