Dickey v. Fair

District of Columbia Court of Appeals

Decided March 8, 2001No. 99-CV-97PublishedCited by 3 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

TERRY, Associate Judge:

This is an appeal from an order granting a “motion to revive judgment” filed by the assignee of the original judgment. Appellants argue that the motion was improperly granted (1) because the twelve-year statutory period for enforcing the judgment had expired, and had not been tolled by the filing of a supersedeas bond, which appellants never obtained, and (2) because the assignment of the judgment had never been filed with the Clerk of the Superior Court as required by statute. 1 We reverse on the first ground without reaching the second.
