Fieri Facias

FIERI FACIAS. This form is a Writ of Fieri Facias (Fi. Fa.) issued by the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, Civil Division, and it is used to enforce a monetary judgment entered against a defendant. Once a plaintiff wins a money judgment in a civil case, this form authorizes the U.S. Marshal for the District of Columbia to seize and sell the defendant’s personal property, real property, or cash on hand (till tap) in order to satisfy the judgment amount, including interest, attorney’s fees, court costs, and any other charges approved by the court. The writ specifies the total amount owed, the date of the judgment, and the applicable interest rate. It serves as a formal legal order instructing the marshal to carry out the execution and report back to the court within 60 days of issuance. The form is typically used in civil, landlord-tenant, or small claims matters where a party is trying to collect on a court-awarded debt. www.FormsWorkflow.com
