Text

(a) INGENERAL.
(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 lo-
cated, 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—in-
cluding 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 circum-
stances stated in 2 U.S.C. §118,1 the judgment must be satisfied as
those statutes provide.
