Defendant and Judgment Debtor Chris Barna has filed an objection to the answer of the

23

garnishee. Defendant has no objection to the garnishment of accounts ending in 5588, 3067, and

24

1071. However, with respect to the accounts ending in 3161 and 5050 (checking and savings),

25

which are jointly held by defendant and his wife, defendant objects to the garnishment on the

26

basis that the monies contained therein have been accumulated by defendant’s wife, Laura Barna,

as the proceeds of her work at a preschool.1 The accounts currently hold a combined amount of

$2,699.76. Defendant and his wife contend the amounts held in the joint accounts are necessary

for the support of defendant’s wife and his children. Defendant and his wife specifically request

that no hearing be held on the objections and that the matter be submitted on the papers.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

6

1. No later than August 25, 2014, plaintiff shall file a response to defendant’s objection.

2. The matter shall thereafter stand submitted.
