UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. BARBARA DENNIS, Defendant.
ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT'S REQUEST TO QUASH GARNISHMENT
Plaintiff applied for a writ of continuing garnishment upon the judgement entered against Defendant pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 3205(b)(1) to garnish Defendant's 2012 Michigan income tax refund. Defendant objected to the garnishment and made a timely request for a hearing, to which Plaintiff responded. A hearing was held on December 5, 2012.
It is undisputed that as of November 20, 2012, Defendant owes $8,905.12 on the consent judgment entered against Defendant and in favor of Plaintiff on March 5, 2001. Plaintiff has not offered any reason as to why her Michigan income tax refund is exempt from garnishment. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Defendant's request to quash garnishment is DENIED.
