and to the judgment debtor's rights to money or property under any
judgment subsequently procured in the action or proceeding.
   (g) A statement that no compromise, dismissal, settlement, or
satisfaction of the pending action or proceeding or any of the
judgment debtor's rights to money or property under any judgment

action or special proceeding in favor of the judgment debtor may not
be enforced by a writ or otherwise, and no compromise, dismissal,
settlement, or satisfaction of the pending action or special
proceeding or the judgment procured therein may be entered into by or
on behalf of the judgment debtor, without the written consent of the
judgment creditor or authorization by order of the court obtained
under subdivision (b).
   (b)  Upon application by the judgment debtor, the court in which
the action or special proceeding is pending or the judgment procured

order described in subdivision (a) that may include such terms and
conditions as the court deems necessary. The application for an order
under this subdivision shall be made on noticed motion. The notice
of motion shall be served on the judgment creditor. Service shall be

personally or by mail. The judgment debtor shall execute an affidavit
in support of the application that includes all the matters set

to the claim of exemption is required. The failure of the judgment
debtor to make a claim of exemption under this section constitutes a
waiver of the exemption.
   (b) The court may determine the exemption claim at any time prior
to the entry of judgment in the action or special proceeding or may
consolidate the exemption hearing with the hearing on a motion
pursuant to Section 708.470.

under the judgment in the action or special proceeding is all or
partially exempt from enforcement of a money judgment, the court
shall order the termination of the lien created under this article on
the exempt portion of the money or property.

statement of the lien in favor of the judgment creditor.



708.470.  (a) If the judgment debtor is entitled to money or
property under the judgment in the action or special proceeding and a
lien created under this article exists, upon application of any
party to the action or special proceeding, the court may order that
the judgment debtor's rights to money or property under the judgment
be applied to the satisfaction of the lien created under this article
as ordered by the court. Application for an order under this section
shall be on noticed motion. The notice of motion shall be served on
all other parties. Service shall be made personally or by mail.
   (b) If the judgment determines that the judgment debtor has an
interest in property, the court may order the party having custody or
control of the property not to transfer the property until it can be
levied upon or otherwise applied to the satisfaction of the lien
created under this article.
   (c) If the court determines that a party (other than the judgment
debtor) having notice of the lien created under this article has
transferred property that was subject to the lien or has paid an
amount to the judgment debtor that was subject to the lien, the court
shall render judgment against the party in an amount equal to the
lesser of the following:
   (1) The value of the judgment debtor's interest in the property or
the amount paid the judgment debtor.
   (2) The amount of the judgment creditor's lien created under this
