The time it takes to enforce a judgment can vary depending on the specific circumstances involved, such as the complexity of the case, the availability of the parties involved, and any potential appeals. In general, it could take anywhere from a few weeks to several months for a judgment to be enforced. It's important to follow up with the appropriate legal authorities to ensure the timely enforcement of a judgment.

If you wish to reply you must address your reply to the court either in person or by filing a motion (and you'd better be fast - 10 days goes by quickly) which addresses the subject matter of the judgment. However, if you have no defense and/or agree with the judgment, simply do nothing and the judgment will automatically take effect.
