(400,000) and less than seven hundred thousand (700,000) shall be

a certified copy of the judgment. When the copy is filed, the court
rendering the judgment has no further jurisdiction of the case except to
furnish a transcript for appeal. The life of a lien may be continued in
force when the action is started in the city court, as though the action
were filed in the circuit court, by filing with the clerk of the circuit
court a certificate, certified to by the judge of the city court and
containing:
(1) the names of the parties to the suit;
(2) the nature of the action;
(3) the description of the property affected; and
(4) the amount in controversy.
The judge shall enter minutes on the docket showing the issuing of the
certificates.
