ARNOLD SUSSMAN v. DIAMONDHEAD CASINO CORPORATION
//October 23, 2018
Civil litigation — Foreign judgment — Motion to reopen
Diamondhead Casino Corporation obtained a judgment against appellant Arnold Sussman and others in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. In accordance with the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act (“UEFJA”), Md. Code (1974, 2013 Repl. Vol.), §§ 11-801 to -807 of the Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article (“CJP”), Diamondhead filed the Delaware judgment in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County.
Sussman moved to reopen and vacate the judgment under CJP § 11-802(b) and to stay the enforcement of the judgment under CJP § 11-804(b). The trial court denied the motion to reopen and vacate the judgment, except to the extent that the judgment had been paid by Sussman’s fellow judgment-debtors. The court granted Sussman’s motion to stay the enforcement of the judgment upon the posting of a bond in the approximate amount of the remaining principal due under the judgment.
Sussman appealed.
