The levying officer shall levy on the property described in the writ or so much thereof as is clearly sufficient to satisfy the amount to be secured by the attachment. The officer is not liable for a determination made in good faith under this provision. (CCP 488.020)
If cash is attached in the amount of the writ plus the officer's costs, any other property levied upon should be released and no further levies should be executed as the cash amount would be clearly sufficient to satisfy the amount to be secured.
If property other than cash or a combination of cash and other property has been levied upon where the cash amount alone is insufficient to satisfy the amount of the writ and the levying officer's costs, the levying officer should not attempt to determine whether sufficient property has been levied. The defendant may apply to the court for an order to release property to the extent it exceeds the amount necessary to secure the attachment. (CCP 488.720)
