Section 11492 Of Chapter 8. Seizure And Disposition From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 10. >> Chapter 8.
11492
. (a) Concurrent with, or subsequent to, the filing of the
petition, the prosecuting agency may move the superior court for the
following pendente lite orders to preserve the status quo or value of
the property alleged in the petition for forfeiture.
(1) An injunction to restrain all interested parties and enjoin
them from transferring, encumbering, hypothecating, or otherwise
disposing of that property.
(2) Appointment of a receiver to take possession of, care for,
manage, and operate the assets and properties so that the property
may be maintained and preserved.
(3) Order an interlocutory sale of the property named in the
petition when the property is liable to perish, to waste, or to be
significantly reduced in value, or when the expenses of maintaining
the property are disproportionate to the value thereof, and the
proceeds thereof shall be deposited with the court or as directed by
the court pending determination of the forfeiture proceeding.
(b) No preliminary injunction may be granted, receiver appointed,
or interlocutory sale ordered without notice to the interested
parties and a hearing to determine that the order is necessary to
preserve the property named in the petition, pending the outcome of
the proceedings, and that there is probable cause to believe that the
property is subject to forfeiture under Section 11470. However, a
temporary restraining order may issue pending that hearing pursuant
to the provisions of Section 527 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the court in
granting these motions may order a surety bond or undertaking to
preserve the property interests of the interested parties.
