§ 484.510.Time Plaintiff May Apply For Writ By Filing Application

This is the no-notice counterpart to Article 2, available on the same two qualifying triggers: a right to attach order issued under the ordinary noticed procedure of Article 1, or a court's finding under § 485.240 that the plaintiff is entitled to one. The application itself has to meet § 484.320's requirements, and subdivision (b) adds an affidavit showing the property sought isn't exempt — a showing that, unlike the underlying claim's validity, may rest on the plaintiff's information and belief.

The reason no notice is required here traces back to how the right to attach order was obtained. Because it already went through adversarial testing — either the original noticed hearing or the defendant's own § 485.240 challenge — the only real question left is whether the newly targeted property is exempt, and that's a question the court can resolve on the papers alone.
