Description
LACAGNINA, Judge. On April 22, 1994, Citibank filed a notice of filing foreign judgment with the Clerk of the Pima County Superior Court. The
judgment had been obtained in the United States District Court for the District of California on January 17, 1990. The trial
court denied a motion by defendant Jim Phifer to vacate the filing of the foreign judgment, holding that A.R.S. §
12-1551, the five-year statute of limitations governing actions on domestic judgments, applied rather than A.R.S. §
12-544(3), the four-year statute of limitations governing the enforcement of foreign judgments. We reverse the judgment of
the trial court because A.R.S. § 12-544(3) is the only statute of limitations that governs the enforcement of foreign
judgments, and the notice of filing under that statute was untimely.
