Ing to California law, it's a ruling, instruction, or direction issued by a judge or a court that requires a person to either do or abstain from specific acts. Willfully violating these instructions is a crime in California and is charged as Contempt of Court.
The decision of the court shall be rendered within sixty days after the cause or matter is finally submitted or within sixty days after a motion under rule 4403, whichever is later, unless the parties agree to extend the time.
Sometimes, the Judge makes a decision right away. If not, the Judge has 60 days by law to decide the motion.
Under CPLR 2214(b), a notice of motion must be served at least eight days in advance of the motion date. Five additional days are added when service by mail is used. Responding papers are due two days before the motion date.
