No. C 02-3265 MMC (PR) (N.D. Cal. Oct. 2, 2002)

Summary

In Bliss v. Watkins (16 Ala. 229), decided in 1849, the Supreme Court of Alabama said: "It seems to be well settled in New York, where judgments constitute a lien upon land, that where two judgments are rendered on the same day, although neither judgment creditor has the preference as a lien, yet if one of the creditors first take out execution, and proceed to levy and sell, his execution must be first satisfied, by reason of his superior diligence although the other creditor put his execution in the hands of the sheriff before the sale.
