Heading: Mr. Adkins’ Motion to Compel

Text: Because Mr. Adkins cannot establish the essential elements his conversion claim, this Court VACATES the district court’s order sustaining his motion, brought pursuant to a garnishment order, compelling Chrysler Financial to provide him with the funds held in Century Auto’s dealer account. That order is premised on the district court’s erroneous conclusion that Mr. Adkins was entitled to summary judgment on his conversion claim. Moreover, because the district court never considered Chrysler Financial’s objections to the garnishment order, this Court REMANDS so that the district court may consider in the first instance Chrysler Financial’s arguments that it has a prior, perfected security interest in Century Auto’s funds in its dealer account. 2 In light of this conclusion, there is no need to consider Chrysler Financial’s additional arguments. 13
