§ 28-20-20 — Assignment of judgment to be entered upon the judgment docket

Every clerk of the district court, upon the presentation of an assignment of any judgment
rendered or docketed in the court, signed by the party in whose favor the judgment is rendered,
or by the party's executor or administrator, and acknowledged in the manner prescribed by law
for the acknowledgment of deeds, shall note the fact of the assignment, the date thereof, and
the name of the assignee upon the docket of the judgment. No filing fee may be charged or
collected by the clerk of district court for entering an assignment of a judgment. The clerk of the

assignment, the date thereof, and the name of the assignee, upon the presentation and filing
with that clerk of a certified copy of the original judgment docket with the facts of the assignment
noted thereon.
