34-54-11-4 Stays

    Sec. 4. (a) If the judgment debtor shows the court with whose clerk the foreign judgment is filed:

        (1) that:

            (A) an appeal from the foreign judgment is pending;

            (B) an appeal from the foreign judgment will be taken; or

            (C) a stay of execution of the foreign judgment has been granted; and

        (2) that the judgment debtor has furnished the security, if any, for the judgment required under the jurisdiction in which the foreign judgment was rendered;

    the court shall stay enforcement of the foreign judgment until the appeal is concluded, the time for appeal expires, or the stay of execution expires or is vacated.

    (b) If:

        (1) the judgment debtor shows the court grounds upon which enforcement of a judgment of a court of Indiana would be stayed; and

        (2) the judgment debtor gives the court security for the judgment debt;

    the court shall stay enforcement of the foreign judgment for the same period as would be appropriate to stay enforcement for a similar judgment by an Indiana court.
