UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN, Plaintiff, v. CURTIS VANOVER, Defendant.
Honorable David M. Lawson
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE PROPOSED GARNISHEE ORDER TO PAY
ELIZABETH A. STAFFORD, United States Magistrate Judge
After the United States initiated this action to request a writ of continuing garnishment against funds payable to the Curtis Vanover by garnishee Ford Motor Company, the defendant filed objections and requested a hearing. ECF No. 1; ECF No. 5. The Honorable David M. Lawson then referred the matter to the undersigned to hold a hearing and prepare a report and recommendation under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b). ECF No. 6. At the hearing on May 27, 2022, counsel for the government and Vanover reported that they had reached an agreement that Vanover's wages would be garnished at a rate of 15%. A proposed order memorializing the party's agreement is attached and this Court RECOMMENDS that Judge Lawson approve the proposed order.

If a party fails to timely file specific objections, any further appeal is waived. Howard v. Secretary of HHS, 932 F.2d 505 (6th Cir. 1991). And only the specific objections to this report and recommendation are preserved for appeal; all other objections are waived. Willis v. Secretary of HHS, 931 F.2d 390, 401 (6th Cir. 1991).
Each objection must be labeled as “Objection #1,” “Objection #2,” etc., and must specify precisely the provision of this report and recommendation to which it pertains.

If the Court determines that any objections are without merit, it may rule without awaiting the response.
