New Jersey § 2a:16-3

§ 2a:16-3.

If appellant, in an appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court, deposits with the clerk of the court such an amount as shall be deemed by that court to be sufficient, as security for

the payment of such amount as may finally be determined to be due in the action, the

court may by order discharge the real estate of appellant from the lien of the judgment

appealed from. The amount deposited shall be subject to the lien of the judgment appealed from and

of any subsequent judgment recovered in the action, and shall be retained by the clerk

until the final determination of the action. When the order has been filed and the deposit made as required, the clerk shall enter

in the margin of the record of the judgment or at a discernible place at the entry

of the judgment, the words “lien of judgment discharged by order of the court,” with

the date of the discharge. Thereupon and thereafter the real estate of appellant shall be absolutely discharged

and freed from any claim on account of the judgment appealed from or the action in

which the judgment was rendered.
