§ 2a:15-14.

Whenever a final judgment is made in favor of the defendant or defendants in any action,

notice of the pendency of which has been filed in the office of any county clerk or

register of deeds and mortgages, the county clerk or register of deeds and mortgages

in whose office the notice has been filed shall, when a copy of such judgment, certified

under the seal of the court in which the judgment shall have been obtained, is filed

in his office, enter in the margin of the record of the notice a statement of the

substance of the judgment. Thereafter the real estate described in the notice shall be discharged of all equities

or claims set up in the complaint in the action, unless the plaintiff takes an appeal

or institutes proceedings for relief from the judgment and files a similar notice

of lis pendens in said office, stating in the notice the object of the appeal or proceedings. Such notice shall, during the pendency of such appeal or proceedings, have the effect

of the notice first filed, and the real estate described in the notice may be discharged

of all equities set up in the complaint, in the manner provided for the discharge

of the notice first filed.
