FAQ

In San Francisco, CA, writ petitions come in four main types as follows: Habeas Corpus. A habeas corpus petition involves filing a writ petition when a person is illegally detained. Mandamus. Mandamus is also referred to as a writ of mandate. Prohibition. Writs of probation entail orders not to do something. Certiorari.

Writs permit the appellate court to review nonappealable judgments and orders. Writ relief is extraordinary and completely discretionary, so 90-95% of them are denied, usually without explanation. The Court of Appeal has “original” jurisdiction over a writ petition.

After a judgment of possession is rendered by the court, the judge may then issue a writ of execution to begin the transfer of property. The judgment for possession states the plaintiff has a right to the property; the writ of execution actually begins the transfer process from a judgment debtor to a plaintiff.

The writ is issued by the Clerk of the U.S. District or Bankruptcy Court under seal of the court.

A writ is different from an appeal: An appeal is a petition to a higher court by a party who seeks to overturn a lower court's ruling. A writ is a directive from a higher court that orders a lower court to take action in ance with the law.

(a) At the hearing, a writ of possession shall issue if both of the following are found: (1) The plaintiff has established the probable validity of the plaintiff's claim to possession of the property. (2) The undertaking requirements of Section 515.010 are satisfied.

There must be a judgment for possession in place first. Once that judgment is secured, however, the victorious party may apply for a writ with the clerk of the court. The application must be accompanied by a declaration in order for the clerk to accept it.

A Petition for Writ of Certiorari is an appellee's formal request to a state Supreme Court or to the Supreme Court of the United States to review a case for error or violation that occurred in a lower court.
