renewed, unless:
(a) The enforcement of the judgment or decree is
stayed on appeal by the execution of a sufficient undertaking as provided in
the Nevada Rules of Appellate Procedure or by the Statutes of the United
States, in which case the lien of the judgment or decree and any lien by virtue
of an attachment that has been issued and levied in the actions ceases;
(b) The judgment is for arrearages in the payment
of child support, in which case the lien continues until the judgment is
satisfied;
(c) The judgment is satisfied; or
(d) The lien is otherwise discharged.

the court or defendant must not be counted in computing the time of expiration.

of the action;
(b) Date of entry of the judgment or decree;
(c) Names of the judgment debtor and judgment

4. In addition to recording the
information described in subsection 2, a judgment creditor who records a
judgment or decree for the purpose of creating a lien upon the real property of
the judgment debtor pursuant to subsection 2 shall record at that time an
affidavit of judgment stating:
(a) The name and address of the judgment debtor;
(b) If the judgment debtor is a natural person:
(1) The last four digits of the judgment
debtor’s driver’s license number or identification card number and the state of

(c) If the lien is against real property which
the judgment debtor owns at the time the affidavit of judgment is recorded, the
assessor’s parcel number and the address of the real property and a statement
that the judgment creditor has confirmed that the judgment debtor is the legal
owner of that real property; and
(d) If a manufactured home or mobile home is
included within the lien, the location and serial number of the manufactured
home or mobile home and a statement that the judgment creditor has confirmed
that the judgment debtor is the legal owner of the manufactured home or mobile
home.
Ê All information
included in an affidavit of judgment recorded pursuant to this subsection must
