        86.42  JUDGMENT BY DISTRICT COURT ON AWARD.
         Any party in interest may present a file-stamped copy of an order
      or decision of the commissioner, from which a timely petition for
      judicial review has not been filed or if judicial review has been
      filed, which has not had execution or enforcement stayed as provided
      in section 17A.19, subsection 5, or an order or decision of a deputy
      commissioner from which a timely appeal has not been taken within the
      agency and which has become final by the passage of time as provided
      by rule and section 17A.15, or an agreement for settlement approved
      by the commissioner, and all papers in connection therewith, to the
      district court where judicial review of the agency action may be
      commenced.  The court shall render a decree or judgment and cause the
      clerk to notify the parties.  The decree or judgment, in the absence
      of a petition for judicial review or if judicial review has been
      commenced, in the absence of a stay of execution or enforcement of
      the decision or order of the workers' compensation commissioner, or
      in the absence of an act of any party which prevents a decision of a
      deputy workers' compensation commissioner from becoming final, has
      the same effect and in all proceedings in relation thereto is the
      same as though rendered in a suit duly heard and determined by the
      court.
