Separate enforcement writs from extraordinary review: the purpose determines the procedure. ## Working notes - [[Writ of Execution]] collects a money judgment; [[Cal. Code of Civ. Proc. § 699.510]] addresses issuance. A levy is a separate step. - [[Writ of Possession]] enforces possession. [[Cal. Code of Civ. Proc. § 715.010]] concerns real property, not every type of property. - Mandate under [[Cal. Code of Civ. Proc. § 1085]] and appellate stays under [[Cal. Code of Civ. Proc. § 923]] serve different purposes. > [!warning] Timing > Do not use the notice-of-appeal deadline as a universal writ deadline. Identify the ruling, available remedy, specific statute, and any need for a stay.
