Opinion
Opinion
Ikola, J.
Petitioner Pacific Decision Sciences Corporation (defendant) seeks a writ of mandate compelling the trial court to vacate its February 17, 2004 order (the February 17 order) which requires defendant to deliver to the Orange County Sheriff “all funds existing at the time of service of this Order in any and all of its deposit accounts at Fidelity Federal Bank & Trust at 412 Lucerne Avenue, Lake Worth, Florida ... or at any other location or branch of said bank existing outside of California.” The February 17 order also requires defendant, “regardless of whether the payment is received in or out of California,” to “deliver to the [Orange County] Sheriff all payments received from PSE&G,” entities identified in the order as “sister companies headquartered in New Jersey,” and to continue to comply with these directives “until the Sheriff is holding the full attachment amount of $2,132,500.” We grant the petition and issue a peremptory writ of mandate commanding the trial court to vacate the February 17 order, and to issue a new order returning to defendant any funds held by the sheriff pursuant to the vacated order.
