  This form is to be immediately followed by the following certification
with the appropriate words being chosen  among  those  which  appear  in
brackets,  except that in the event the person certifying the transcript
keeps no seal, the  words  "and  affixed  my  official  seal"  shall  be
omitted:
 
STATE OF NEW YORK

                                          Clerk, Judge or Justice).
  Any  change  in  the  status  of  the  judgment  since the time of its
original entry on the docket of the  person  certifying  the  transcript
shall  be  indicated in the space provided for "REMARKS; DATE AND MANNER
OF CHANGE OF STATUS OF JUDGMENT" the same  to  include  any  assignment,
reversal,  modification,  discharge,  and  any  other  such  disposition
affecting the judgment; satisfactions and reductions, to whatever extent

and in whatever fashion the same are affected, shall be indicated in the
space entitled "SATISFIED--WHEN, HOW AND TO WHAT EXTENT."
  2.  Every  certificate  attesting to any execution on, or reduction or
full or partial satisfaction of, a judgment, or to  any  change  in  the
status  of a judgment, hereafter given by any clerk, judge or justice of
a court of record or of a court not of record, or by any  county  clerk,
shall  be  of  the same size and form as for a transcript of judgment as
described and illustrated under subdivision one of the  section,  except
that  the  words  "Certificate of Disposition of Judgment" shall replace
the words "Transcript of Judgment"  wherever  the  same  may  appear  on
either  side  thereof,  and  excepting  further  that  between  the  two
sentences constituting the certification there shall  be  an  additional
sentence,  to  read:  "And I further certify that the above judgment has
........ " The space provided shall be of sufficient length  to  contain
all data relevant to the matter for which the certificate is issued.
  3. In the event that the space provided for any information which must
be  contained in any such transcript or certificate be insufficient, the
same may be set forth on a separate paper or papers of the same size, to
be attached to said transcript or  certificate  by  a  staple  or  other
equally permanent means, and in that space on the original transcript or
certificate  which  proved  insufficient to contain the necessary matter
there shall  appear  a  reference  to  the  attached  paper  or  papers,
adequately  identifying  the  same.  Each  such  added  paper  shall  be
subscribed at the very end of the matter contained thereon by  the  same
person  who  certifies the transcript or certificate to which said paper
or papers shall be attached.
