UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On December 10, 2013, Defendant Vang filed an application for a writ of execution. 

Although the application does not indicate whether the application is directed to the Clerk of the 

Court or to the undersigned, the proposed order that is attached to the application makes clear that 

the application is directed to the undersigned.

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 69, a money judgment is enforced through a 

writ of execution, and the procedure on execution must accord with the procedure of the court in 

which the district court is located. See Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 69(a); Credit Suis v. United States Dist. 

Ct., 130 F.3d 1342, 1344 (9th Cir. 1997). California Code of Civil Procedure § 699.510 “sets the 

parameters for the issuance of writs of execution.” Xcentric Ventures, LLC v. Arden, 2010 U.S. 

Dist. LEXIS 110599, *4 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 1, 2010). Pursuant to § 699.510(a), it is the Clerk of the 

Court who issues writs of execution. See Cal. Code Civ. Pro. § 699.510(a); UA Local 342 Joint 

Labor-Mgmt. Comm. v. Roeber’s, Inc., 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 160431, *3 (N.D. Cal. Nov. 8, 

2013) (citing Cal. Code Civ. Pro. § 699.510(a)). California Code of Civil Procedure § 699.520 

lists the required contents and information that a writ of execution must contain.

Here, Vang’s application is not correctly directed to the Clerk, and the proposed order does 

not comply with § 699.520. Becaues Vang’s application and order do not comply with applicable 

law, the Court will deny Vang’s application. However, the denial will be without prejudice to 

Vang filing an application and proposed writ that complies California law. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant’s ex parte application for a writ 

of execution is DENIED without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 12, 2013
