               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.
