text: i won a small claims case june 2003-with no money yet received. do i need to "renew my case by this june? i won the maximum award amount, and still want to pursue the individual who owes me.  does the small claims "expire" in three years?  what exactly do i need to do so the whole thing doesn't go away into thin air? well...after reading your remarks...i think you have stated everything there is to state. quite frankly, it doesn't look like you're going to get anything. if he has no property, real or personal, you can not force a sale. if he works, but gets paid "under the table" you can't intercept his tax refund. i would not wast the filing fee to start over, because it doesn't look like you're getting anything.
