Younglove, Defendant. 13 14 15 Lerner & Rowe, PC, Garnishee. 16 17 A Writ of Garnishment, directed to the Garnishee, has been duly issued and served 18 upon the Garnishee. Pursuant to the Writ of Garnishment, the Garnishee filed an Answer 19 on December 16, 2015, stating that at the time of the service of the Writ it had in its 20 possession non-exempt earnings belonging to and due the Defendant and that the 21 Garnishee was indebted to the Defendant. 22 On December 11, 2015, the United States of America notified the Defendant of his 23 right to a hearing. The Defendant requested a hearing on the garnishment on 24 December 29, 2015. (Doc. 23.) On January 12, 2016, this court referred this matter to 25 Magistrate Judge David K. Duncan for the purpose of deciding the request for hearing 26 and, if Judge Duncan concluded that a hearing is warranted, conducting the hearing. 27 (Doc. 25.) Judge Duncan held hearings on February 16, 2016, February 24, 2016 28 (telephonically), and March 8, 2016. (Docs. 27, 31, 34 and 41.) On March 10, 2016, 1 Judge Duncan concluded that the Defendant had produced no credible or legally 2 supported basis to challenge the requested garnishment and recommended that this Court 3 grant the government’s request. (Doc. 40.) Despite the Report and Recommendation 4 (“R&R”) warning Defendant that he had fourteen days to file any objections thereto, and 5 that his failure to so “may result in the acceptance of the R&R by the district court 6 without further review” pursuant to United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121 7 (9th Cir. 2003), Defendant filed no objection. The Court nonetheless conducted a review 8 of the R&R, and upon finding the reasons supporting it legally justified and factually 9 supported, 10 11 12 13 IT IS ORDERED adopting Magistrate Judge David K. Duncan’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 40). IT IS FURTHER ORDERED granting the United States Government’s Motion for Entry of Garnishment Disposition Order (Doc. 42). 14 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Garnishee pay the sum of 25% of the 15 Defendant’s non-exempt earnings to the Plaintiff and continue withholding the 16 Defendant’s non-exempt earnings and paying them to the Plaintiff until the debt to the 17 Plaintiff is paid in full or until the Garnishee no longer has possession of any non-exempt 18 earnings belonging to the Defendant or until further Order of this Court.
