(a) IN GENERAL. (1) Money Judgment; Applicable Procedure. A money judgmentis enforced by a writ of execution, unless the court directs otherwise. The procedure on execution—and in proceedings supplementary to and in aid of judgment or execution—must accord with the procedure of the state where the court is located, but a federal statute governs to the extent it applies.
(2) Obtaining Discovery. In aid of the judgment or execution, the judgment creditor or a successor in interest whose interest appears of record may obtain discovery from any person—including the judgment debtor—as provided in these rules or by the procedure of the state where the court is located.
(b) AGAINST CERTAIN PUBLIC OFFICERS. When a judgment has been entered against a revenue officer in the circ*mstances stated in 28 U.S.C. § 2006, or against an officer of Congress in the circ*mstances stated in 2 U.S.C. § 118,1 the judgment must be satisfied as those statutes provide.
Winning a case does not mean that the prevailing party automatically gets his money. Often, he must find and seize assets that belong to the losing party.
Rule 69 provides that a party can conduct discovery to obtain information about the losing party’s assets. For example, the prevailing party can question the losing party and non-parties to learn the location and amount of the losing party’s assets.
What is discovery?
Discovery is the process where parties acquire and disclose information, usually before trial. A prevailing party in a civil litigation can also conduct discovery to determine where the losing party has assets.
Execution (a) In General. (1) Money Judgment; Applicable Procedure. A money judgment is enforced by a writ of execution, unless the court directs otherwise.
A writ of execution is a process issued by the court directing the U.S. Marshal to enforce and satisfy a judgment for payment of money. (Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 69).
Rule 69 - Execution and Proceedings Subsequent to Judgment (a) In General. Except as provided in C.R.C.P. 103 or an order of court directing otherwise, process to enforce a final money judgment shall be by writ of execution. (b) Proceedings for Costs.
If you win a judgment issued by a federal court, you may start collecting right away. The defendant has 30 days to file an appeal or post a bond. If the defendant posts a bond you must cease your collection efforts (Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 4(b)).
Execution (a) In General. (1) Money Judgment; Applicable Procedure. A money judgment is enforced by a writ of execution, unless the court directs otherwise.
If a judgment debtor does not voluntarily pay the judgment, the judgment creditor can try to collect the money from the judgment debtor involuntarily. This is called “executing” the judgment. A judgment creditor can execute upon a judgment debtor's wages, real property, bank account, or cash box.
Execution refers to an official document that directs a sheriff to take possession of a judgment debtor's property so that it either (a) may be turned over to the judgment creditor or (b) may be sold at public sale so that the proceeds may be turned over to the judgment creditor.
Some federal judgments are good for 20 years before a renewal is required. However, some states have decided to use their own limits: for example, in Florida, the limit is five years. Generally, one must wait two weeks before starting to enforce a federal judgment.
Examples of cases in which a writ of execution may be filed: If a home buyer fails to make mortgage payments, the creditor (a bank, private party, or mortgage company) may petition the court for a judgment against the home buyer after making effort to collect those payments.
(a) Making an Offer; Judgment on an Accepted Offer. At least 14 days before the date set for trial, a party defending against a claim may serve on an opposing party an offer to allow judgment on specified terms, with the costs then accrued.
A motion for judgment on the pleadings under FRCP 12(c) is designed to dispose of cases before trial where the material facts are not in dispute and a judgment on the merits can be rendered by looking to the substance of the pleadings and any judicially noticed facts.
Execution refers to an official document that directs a sheriff to take possession of a judgment debtor's property so that it either (a) may be turned over to the judgment creditor or (b) may be sold at public sale so that the proceeds may be turned over to the judgment creditor.
