CHARLES J. LANDMAN, DAWN R. LANDMAN, Plaintiffs, v. JEFF SKODAK, COLLEEN GIOVANARDI, FIRST METROPOLITAN MORTGAGE, NOVASTAR MORTGAGE, INC., Defendants. v. L & E CONSULTING GROUP, INC., Garnishee.
HON. AVERN COHN
ORDER MOOTING OBJECTIONS TO GARNISHMENT (Doc. 31)
In 2007, plaintiffs filed a complaint against defendants claiming violations of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, 12 U.S.C. § 2601, the Truth in Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1601, Michigan's Mortgage Brokers Act, and unjust enrichment.
On February 3, 2009, the Clerk entered a default against the garnishee defendant, L&E Consulting Group, Inc. (L&E), whose registered agent was listed as defendant Jeff Skodak. (Doc. 27). The Clerk also entered a default judgment in the amount of $2000.00 against L&E. (Doc. 28).
On October 6, 2011, plaintiffs requested a writ of garnishment as to Skodak, with the Michigan Department of Treasury listed as the garnishee defendant. (Doc. 30). On November 7, 2011, Skodak filed objections to the garnishment. (Doc. 31). On December 20, 2011, the day before a hearing on the matter, plaintiffs filed a garnishment release. (Doc. 34). In light of the release and as explained by plaintiff's counsel on the record on December 21, 2011, the objections are denied as MOOT.
Skodak did not appear at the hearing.
SO ORDERED.
