No, this is not a judgment. It is a stipulated settlement of the case. If you complete the payments as scheduled, it WILL NOT be entered as a judgment against you. If you don't, it WILL, and the eviction will be accelerated with no further actions or delays allowed on your part.

As for the 60-day seal, according to what is stated in the stipulated agreement, if you complete the payments according to the schedule, your case will be dismissed by the court. The stipulation agreement will NOT be filed with the court, there will be nothing in there saying how it was resolved, only that the case was dismissed. That will be part of the public record if someone chooses to search it.

As stated previously, if you want the entire case file to remain sealed and confidential, you will need wording added to the stipulation agreement that basically says "Case file to remain CONFIDENTIAL". If you breach the agreement, they wouldn't be likely to agree to that, so it would probably only be applicable in the event that the you completed your payments as scheduled and the case is dismissed.

Thank You Sandyclaus..
The LL lawyer says he has never heard of getting a case sealed or that it would ever stay that way after the 60day limited viewing...I always get different info on it...

I'm going to disagree with SandyClaus only because SandyClaus doesn't know if the stip was simply lodged (which, wouldn't be a judgment but WOULD become public after 60 days) or being a judgment (which would of course become public on day 61, and the attorney just plans to vacate the judgment after all the terms have been met.

The permanent sealing of UD cases is only done in certain cases and the bench officer has to order it sealed... writing it in a stip isn't sufficient.
