The hearing will take place within five working days after you ask for it. You may ask for the hearing by checking the box at the bottom of this notice and filing it with the court or division of the court, at the following address: (address of court or division of the court). You must also send a copy to (party seeking provisional remedy) at (address), so that (such party) knows you want the hearing. At the hearing the court will decide whether the claim against you is probably valid and whether other legal requirements have been met. If you do not check the box requesting a date for a hearing and take this notice to the court within ten days, the court will automatically assume you do not want a hearing and you will lose your right to a hearing. Then (party seeking provisional remedy) may take your property with the court’s permission."
