SHERI CHAPPELL, Magistrate Judge

This matter comes before the Court for consideration upon the claim of exemption from garnishment filed by Defendant, Omah Leah Norris (Doc. # 34) and the Court having considered the matter and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, it is thereupon

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:

a. That $1,172.08 was garnished (the "Funds") from the Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union bank account owned by Norris pursuant to this Court's Writ of Garnishment as set forth in the Garnishment Notice (Doc. #33).

b. That the Funds garnished are disposable earnings in the form of wages belonging to Norris.

c. That Norris is the head of family because she has dependent children and provides more than 50% of the support for those dependent children.

d. That Norris has not consented in writing to the garnishment of her wages.

2. The Funds are therefore exempt from garnishment and the Writ of Garnishment is hereby dissolved. Garnishee shall release the garnished funds to Norris.
