U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 2003. Marshal's incapacity after levy on or sale of realty
Whenever a United States marshal dies, is removed from office, or
the term of his commission expires, after levying on realty or any
interest therein under a writ of execution issued by a court of the
United States, and before sale or other final disposition thereof,
like process shall issue to the succeeding marshal and the same
proceedings shall be had as if such contingency had not occurred.
Whenever any such contingency arises after a marshal has sold any
realty or interest therein and before a deed is executed, the court
may, on application by the purchaser, or the plaintiff in whose
action the sale was made, setting forth the facts of the case and
the reason why the title was not perfected by such marshal, order
the succeeding marshal to perfect the title and execute a deed to
the purchaser, upon payment of the purchase money and unpaid costs.
