§ 3153. Action by assignee of negotiable paper after judgment against maker—Pleading judgment
in bar; citation of plaintiff in trustee action
When a person is held as trustee upon a negotiable paper in an action in which a claimant
does not appear or is not cited in, and an action is afterwards brought against the
trustee upon such paper by an assignee thereof, the trustee may plead the former judgment
against himself or herself in bar. The court shall thereupon issue a citation, and
such assignee shall cause it to be served on the plaintiff in the trustee process
or his or her attorney of record.
