Arai v. Leff
Arai v. Leff
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Ernest Leff appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his motion to dismiss and granting plaintiffs’ application to renew judgment. We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 69(a), state law applies to the procedures used “in proceedings supplementary to and in aid of a judgment.” By statute, judgments entered in California may be renewed within a ten year period after entry of judgment. See Cal.Civ.Proc.Code § 683.120 et seq. The entry of a renewal of judgment is a purely ministerial act performed by the court clerk upon the filing of an application that contains the requisite information. See Cal.Civ.Proc. Code § 683.150(a) (“Upon the filing of the application, the court clerk shall enter the renewal of the judgment in the court records”).
Accordingly, the district court’s order granting plaintiffs’ application to renew judgment, and denying Leff s motion chal
Leffs remaining contentions lack merit.
DISMISSED.
