in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

A final money or property judgment may be registered in another district by filing a certified copy, subject to the stated timing rules. The registered judgment has the same effect there and may be enforced there, in addition to other enforcement procedures.

A judgment for recovery of money or property from a court of appeals, district court, bankruptcy court, or Court of International Trade may be registered in another district—or, for a Court of International Trade judgment, in any judicial district—by filing a certified copy. Registration may occur after the judgment becomes final on appeal or after the appeal period ends, or when the issuing court orders it for good cause. A judgment for the United States may be registered any time after entry. A registered judgment has the same effect as a judgment of the district court where it is registered and may be enforced in the same way. A certified copy showing full or partial satisfaction may be registered in the same way in any district where the judgment is a lien. This procedure supplements other judgment-enforcement procedures.

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.
