However, California's attachment statutes are strictly

construed. See Jordan-Lyon Productions, Ltd. v. Cineplex Odeon

Corp., 29 Cal. App. 4th 1459, 1466 (1994); Hobbs v. Weiss, 73

Cal. App. 4th 76, 79-80 (1999); Vershbow v. Reiner, 231 Cal. App.

3d 879, 882-83 (1991); Nakasone v. Randall, 129 Cal. App. 3d 757,

761 (1982). The application and declarations submitted by

Plaintiff do not contain all statements required for the issuance

of a writ of attachment. See Cal. Code of Civ. Pro. §§ 484.020,

485.210 (both requiring certain sworn statements to be included

as part of an application). Since not all required sworn

statements have been made to the Court, Plaintiff’s Motion for a

Writ of Attachment (Docket No. 25) is DENIED without prejudice. 

Defendant’s request for hearing (Docket No. 40) is DENIED as

moot. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 12, 2010
