                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

CLERK TO ISSUE FIERI FACIAS ON JUDGMENT FOR MONEY (§ 8.01-466)

On a judgment for money, it shall be the duty of the clerk of the court in which
such judgment was rendered, upon request of the judgment creditor, his assignee
or his attorney, to issue a writ of fieri facias at the expiration of twenty-one
days from the date of the entry of the judgment and place the same in the hands
of a proper person to be executed and take his receipt therefor. The writ shall
be issued together with the form for requesting a hearing on a claim of
exemption from levy as provided in § 8.01-546.1. For good cause the court may
order an execution to issue on judgments and decrees at an earlier period.
