CHAPTER 125--PENDING ACTIONS AND JUDGMENTS
Sec. 1964. Constructive notice of pending actions
Where the law of a State requires a notice of an action concerning
real property pending in a court of the State to be registered,
recorded, docketed, or indexed in a particular manner, or in a certain
office or county or parish in order to give constructive notice of the
action as it relates to the real property, and such law authorizes a
notice of an action concerning real property pending in a United States
district court to be registered, recorded, docketed, or indexed in the
same manner, or in the same place, those requirements of the State law
must be complied with in order to give constructive notice of such an
action pending in a United States district court as it relates to real
property in such State.
