Plaintiff,
v.

Case No.: 8:16-cv-3067-T-CEH-AAS

WAL-MART STORES EAST, LP,

Defendants.
__________________________________________/
ORDER
Defendant Wal-Mart Stores East, LP (Wal-Mart) requests that the court
enter an order requiring Plaintiff Darrell Archer to complete Form 1.997 Fact
Information Sheet. (Doc. 326). Mr. Archer has not responded in opposition to
Wal-Mart’s motion and the time for doing so has passed.
On March 25, 2021, the court entered a judgment for Wal-Mart and
against Mr. Archer for $15,000.00, plus post-judgment interest. (Doc. 325). Mr.
Archer is unwilling to satisfy the judgment.
Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.560, titled Discovery in Aid of
Execution, provides:

In addition to any other discovery available to a judgment creditor
under this rule, the court, at the request of the judgment creditor,
shall order the judgment debtor or debtors to complete form 1.977,
including all required attachments, within 45 days of the order or
such other reasonable time as determined by the court.
Florida’s rules pertaining to discovery in aid of execution, requiring that a
judgment creditor be ordered to fill out Form 1.977, apply. See Fed. R. Civ. P.
69(a) (“In aid of the judgment or execution, the judgment creditor . . . may
obtain discovery from any person – including the judgment debtor – as
provided in these rules or by the procedure of the state where the court is
located.”).
Accordingly, Wal-Mart’s Motion Requiring Mr. Archer to Complete Form
1.997 Fact Information Sheet (Doc. 326) is GRANTED. Mr. Archer must mail
or deliver a completed Form 1.977 (attached to Wal-Mart’s motion at Doc. 3261), including all required attachments, to Attorney William Brumby at
Quintairos, Prieto, Wood & Boyer, P.A., 1410 N. Westshore Boulevard, Suite
200, Tampa, Florida 33607, no later than June 18, 2021.
ORDERED in Tampa, Florida on May 11, 2021.
