ORDER

Pending before the Court are Plaintiff’s Motions to Quash Garnishments issued or

sought in this matter (Dkts. 62, 63, 68). Plaintiff applied for and obtained Writs of

Garnishment for earnings and non-earnings against the following garnishees: Oasis

Entertainment Services, LLC (Dkts. 50, 51); Destinations, LLC (Dkts. 40, 47); Ithaca

Properties, LLC (Dkts. 48, 52); Ionian Foods, LLC (Dkts. 55, 57); McCagnos Wild Game

& Domestic Processing, LLC (Dkts. 43, 46); and McCagnos Farm Fresh Market, LLC

(Dkt. 38). Plaintiff now seeks to release and quash those Writs of Garnishment (Dkt. 62).

Similarly, Plaintiff applied for and obtained Writs of Garnishment for earnings and

non-earnings against the following garnishees: 1005 N. Second Street LLC (Dkts. 53,

54); Del Sunshine, LLC (Dkts. 36, 39); Fortitude B & D, LLC (Dkts. 56, 59); Steve &

Clark’s Eateries, LLC (Dkts. 37, 60); and Trinity Holdings, LLC (Dkts. 44, 45). Plaintiff

now seeks to release and quash those Writs of Garnishment as well (Dkt. 63).

Finally, Plaintiff applied for a Writ of Garnishment for non-earnings as to

garnishee Squire, Sanders & Dempsey, LLP (Dkt. 64). Squire, Sanders & Dempsey

answered and denied that it had possession of monies or personal property of the

judgment debtor (Dkt. 66). Plaintiff now seeks to release and quash that Writ of

Garnishment (Dkt. 68), though no such Writ ever issued. 

In each Motion to Quash, Plaintiff asserts that neither the Garnishee nor the

Defendant/Judgment Debtor will be prejudiced by the release of the Writ of Garnishment,

and that satisfactory arrangements have been made for payment of every Garnishee’s fees

and costs incurred in answering the Writs. No responses have been filed as to any of

Plaintiff’s three Motions to Quash. The Court will therefore grant Plaintiff’s Motions to

Quash those Writs which have issued (Dkts. 62, 63), and deny as premature Plaintiff’s

Motion to Quash Writ of Non-Earnings as to Squire, Sanders & Dempsey, LLP as no

Writ was issued. Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED granting Plaintiff’s Motion to Quash Garnishments

(Dkt. 62).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED granting Plaintiff’s Motion to Quash Garnishments

(Dkt. 63).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED denying as premature Plaintiff’s Motion to Quash

Garnishment as to Squire, Sanders & Dempsey LLP (Dkt. 68).

DATED this 12th day of March, 2008.
