Heading: Failure to Grant Motion for Satisfaction of the Judgment

Text: As we stated at the outset, the burden of proof as to entitlement to relief under Code § 8.01-455 rests with the judgment debtor, here UOSA, asserting that the judgment debt has been paid and should be marked satisfied. Leasing Service Corp., 243 Va. at 444, 416 S.E.2d at 441. Because UOSA has not prevailed in this Court on the issue of whether interest was to accrue during the period between November 6, 2003 and June 27, 2005 and the Joint Venture has prevailed on the issue that post-judgment interest on the compensatory damages from the First Trial accrued at the rate of 1% per month, it is clear that UOSA's contention that it has fully satisfied the judgment debt is no longer tenable. Accordingly, we need not address further UOSA's assignment of error asserting that the circuit court erred in not granting UOSA's motion for satisfaction of the judgment. UOSA is not yet entitled to such relief.
