This matter comes before the Court on the United States of America's Motion to Issue Continuing Garnishment Order pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 3205(c)(7). Dkt. No. 7. A Writ of Continuing Garnishment has been duly issued and served upon the Garnishee, Hoban & Associates, LLC. Dkt. Nos. 2, 5. Pursuant to the Writ, Garnishee Hoban & Associates, LLC, filed its Answer on December 12, 2022, stating that at the time of the service of the Writ, Defendant/Judgment Debtor Morgan Michael J.

After notification that the garnishment proceeding was mailed to the Garnishee and Defendant/Judgment Debtor Wold on or about November 28, 2022, Dkt. No. 5 at 2, Mr. Wold has not requested a hearing to determine exempt property as of this date.

Wold, upon each period of time when Defendant/Judgment Debtor Wold is entitled to receive such funds, and shall continue said payments, if any, until
a. Defendant/Judgment Debtor Wold's debt is paid in full; or
b. Defendant/Judgment Debtor is no longer an active employee of Garnishee and the Garnishee no longer has possession, custody, or control of any funds due and owing to the Defendant/Judgment Debtor; or
c. further order of this Court.
This includes all monies required to be previously withheld by the Garnishee, in accordance with the Writ of Continuing Garnishment;
2. That such payment shall be applied to Defendant/Judgment Debtor Michael J. Wold's outstanding restitution obligation, by the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington; and
