Below is Rule 69 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Rule 69 deals with Execution , and is indexed under Chapter VIII, dealing with Provisional and Final Remedies.
(a) In General.
- (1) Money Judgment; Applicable Procedure.
- A money judgment is 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 circumstances stated in 28 U.S.C. § 2006, or against an officer of Congress in the circumstances stated in 2 U.S.C. § 118, the judgment must be satisfied as those statutes provide.
