28-20-14. Release of judgment lien on appeal
Whenever an appeal from any judgment is pending and the undertaking requisite to stay
execution on such judgment has been given and the appeal perfected as provided in this title,
the court in which such judgment was recovered, on motion after notice to the person owning
the judgment, may direct the clerk to make an entry on the judgment docket that the judgment is
secured on appeal, and thereupon it, during the pendency of the appeal, ceases to be a lien on
the real property of the judgment debtor as against purchasers and mortgagees in good faith
and for value.
