ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the motions of Nationwide Judgment Recovery,
Inc., as assignee of Plaintiff Matthew E. Orso, in his capacity as court-appointed successor
receiver for Rex Venture Group, LLC, d/b/a/ ZeekRewards.com (“Plaintiff”) for issuance
of writs of garnishment as to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (Doc. 11) and Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A. (“Garnishees.”) (Doc. 12).. On August 14, 2017, Plaintiff obtained a judgment in the

Case 5:21-mc-00011-JSM-PRL Document 13 Filed 02/11/22 Page 2 of 2 PageID 72

United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina against each member
of a Defendant class, including Defendant Joni Michael in the amount of $14,570.96. (Doc.
1).
On April 28, 2021, Plaintiff registered the judgment with this Court. (Doc. 1). There
remains due and owing $14,570.96, plus post-judgment interest. Now, Plaintiff moves for the
writs of garnishment and suggests that each Garnishee may have in its possession and control
certain monies or property belonging to Defendant Joni Michael sufficient to satisfy the
judgment in whole or in part. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 69, the Court must follow state law
regarding garnishment procedures. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 69. Chapter 77 of the Florida Statutes
prescribes the procedure for issuance and enforcement of writs of garnishment.
Accordingly, upon due consideration, Plaintiff’s motions for issuance of writ of
garnishment (Docs. 11 & 12) are GRANTED, and the Clerk is directed to issue the Writs of
Garnishment (including the Notice and Claim of Exemption) attached to each motion. (Docs.
11-1, 12-1). Plaintiff must fully comply with all notice requirements of §77.041, Florida
Statutes.
DONE and ORDERED in Ocala, Florida on February 11, 2022.
