Warrant to United States marshal; fees of marshal

§ 20–2302. Warrant to United States marshal; fees of marshalUpon the filing of a petition under section 20–2301, the court may issue a warrant directed to the United States marshal for the District of Columbia, commanding him to take possession of the property named in the schedule and hold it subject to the order of the court, and make return of the warrant as soon as may be, with a statement of his actions thereon and a schedule of the property so taken. The marshal shall post a copy of the warrant upon each parcel of land named in the schedule and cause so much of the warrant as relates to land to be recorded with the recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia. He shall receive such fees for serving the warrant as the court allows, but not more than those established by law for similar service upon a writ of attachment. If the petition is dismissed, the fees and the cost of publishing and serving the notice provided for by this chapter shall he paid by the petitioner; but if a receiver is appointed, they shall be paid by the receiver and allowed in his account.
