§ 4854. Judgment for plaintiff; writ of possession
If the court finds that the plaintiff is entitled to possession of the premises, the plaintiff shall have judgment for possession and rents due, damages, and costs, and when a written rental agreement so provides, the court may award reasonable attorney’s fees. A writ of possession shall issue on the date judgment is entered, unless the court for good cause orders a stay. The writ shall direct any sheriff to serve the writ upon the defendant and, not earlier than 14 days after the writ is served, to put the plaintiff into possession.
