2.02.230 [Rule 20] Proceedings After Judgment

(a) No later than ten (10) days after a judgment is final, a party may ask the Judge for a rehearing, reconsideration, correction, vacation, or modification of the judgment.

(b) The Judge may grant a new hearing or reconsider any change in the judgment if he or she finds at least one of the following to be true:

(1) The original judgment was based on or reached as a result of fraud or mistake of law;

(2) There is newly discovered evidence which probably would have affected the outcome of the case and which could not, with reasonable effort, have been discovered in time for a hearing of the case;

(3) The court did not have jurisdiction over a party or over the subject matter.

(c) No later than ten (10) days after judgment is final or no later than ten (10) days after a motion made pursuant to subsection (a) of this Rule is denied, a party may appeal an adverse judgment as provided in the Rules of Appellate Procedure.

(d) No civil judgment shall be enforced sooner that thirty (30) days after judgment is entered in the docket.

(e) Failure to abide by the decision of the Court for resolution of the action, within a reasonable time as may be determined by the Court, will result in a "letter of warning" from the Court Clerk. Further non-compliance may result in a judgment for Contempt of Court, and enforcement of the original decision will be determined by the Court through such measures as garnishment of wages, restraining orders on bank accounts, sale offer implement liens on personal and/or real property, or any other remedy as authorized by the law.

(f) A party appealing a judgment against him or her, or filing a motion pursuant to this section, Rule 20(a) may make a motion requesting that the Court delay (stay) enforcement of the judgment until after the this section, Rule 20(a) motion or appeal has been decided. The party who won the original judgment may oppose the motion for a stay and/or may request that the Court require that the party asking for the stay post a bond to protect him or her from further damage, to cover costs, or to guarantee that sufficient assets are within the control of the Court to satisfy the judgment if the original winning party wins the motion or the appeal. Stays shall be granted only under the terms of this section and the Rules of Appellate Procedure, and no stays shall be granted automatically.
