exemption to the proposed garnishment or request a hearing, did not object to Garnishee’s Answer, and 

did not otherwise object to the United States’ garnishment action. 

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local Rule 302, on March 15, 2024, the Magistrate Judge 

issued findings and recommendations that recommended that the United States’ request for final order of 

garnishment be granted and ordered that any objections were due within 14 days after service. ECF 9. 

The United States served the findings and recommendations on Debtor on March 19, 2024. ECF 10. 

Debtor did not object and the time to do so has passed. 

In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), the Court has conducted a de novo review of the 

case. Having carefully reviewed the file, the Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge’s findings and 

recommendations are supported by the record and by proper analysis. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 

1. The Findings and Recommendations for Final Order of Continuing Garnishment (ECF 9) 

are ADOPTED IN FULL; 

2. Garnishee Harrington Automotive, Inc., D/B/A Lodi CDJR is directed to pay the Clerk of

3. Garnishee Harrington Automotive, Inc., D/B/A Lodi CDJR is directed to pay the Clerk of 

the United States District Court the amount of non-exempt disposable earnings, including, but not 

limited to wages, earnings, commissions, and bonuses, already withheld as a result of the writ, within 

fifteen (15) days of this Final Order of Garnishment. Payment shall be made in the form of a check, 

money order, or company draft, made payable to the “Clerk of the Court” and delivered to:
