The hearing on the motion shall be held not later than 30 days from the date the notice of motion was filed, unless continued by the court for good cause. (CCP 703.570, 706.105) The Claim of Exemption and Notice of Opposition to the Claim of exemption constitute the pleadings, subject to the power of the court to permit amendments in the interest of Justice. (Lentfoehr v. Lentfoehr, 134 CA 2d Supp. 905; CCP 703.580) The court gives judgment determining whether the claim shall be allowed or not, in whole or in part, and makes all proper orders for the disposition of such property or its proceeds. (CCP 703.580, 706.105)
Unless otherwise ordered by the court, if an exemption is not determined within the time provided by CCP 703.570 or 706.105, or the Hearing off calendar, the levy should be released to the extent the property was claimed to be exempt. (CCP 703.580(f))
