RULE 7.210. STAY OF JUDGMENT AND EXECUTION

(a) Judgment or Execution or Levy Stayed. When judgment is to be
entered against a party, the judge may inquire and permit inquiry about the
earnings and financial status of the party and has discretionary power to stay
an entry of judgment or, if entered, to stay execution or levy on such terms as
are just and in consideration of a stipulation on the part of the judgment
debtor to make such payments as will ensure a periodic reduction of the
judgment until it is satisfied.

(b) Stipulation. The judge shall note the terms of such stipulation in
the file; the stipulation may be set out in the judgment or made a part of the
judgment by reference to “the stipulation made in open court.”

(c) Execution. When judgment is entered and execution stayed
pending payments, if the judgment debtor fails to pay the installment
payments, the judgment creditor may have execution without further notice for
the unpaid amount of the judgment upon filing an affidavit of the amount due.

(d) Oral Stipulations. Oral stipulations may be made in the presence
of the court that upon failure of the judgment debtor to comply with any
agreement, judgment may be entered or execution issued, or both, without
further notice.

Committee Notes
1988 Amendment. Adds the staying of levy as an alternative for the
court when arranging payment. Provides lien rights priority protection for
judgment creditors.
