§ 2686. Execution for subsequent attaching creditor
- (a) When a subsequent attaching creditor recovers judgment while a prior action is pending,
on which the same property is attached, he or she may take an execution on such judgment
at any time within 30 days after all prior attachments are discharged, if the property
attached is personal property, and, if real estate, within five months after the prior
attachments are discharged, though more than a year and a day have passed after the
rendition of such judgment. If an execution was taken out at the time of the rendition

thereon within the time aforesaid, though the judgment has lain dormant for more than
a year and a day. Such execution, or other executions, if so taken out, shall hold
the lien on the goods or estate so attached, if put into the hands of the attaching
officer within 30 days after the discharge of all liens on such property, if the property
was personal, or five months, if real estate. (b) If more than a year and a day have expired from the rendition of the judgment, the
magistrate issuing such execution shall state therein that the plaintiff was a subsequent
attaching creditor.
