United States of America v. Boykin

Filing 29

ORDER Denying Request for Hearing (#21) Signed by District Judge George Caram Steeh. (MBea)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 07-11483
HON. GEORGE CARAM STEEH

vs.
JULIA BOYKIN,
Defendant
and
FEDEX CORPORATION
Garnishee.
__________________________________/

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT’S REQUEST FOR HEARING
Presently before the court is defendant’s request for hearing about the writ of
garnishment directed at Fedex Corporation, filed on March 1, 2012. Plaintiff has filed a
response, as well as a supplemental response to defendant’s pending motion, filed on
March 5, 2012 and March 14, 2012 respectively.
Plaintiff’s submissions demonstrate that defendant is not employed with Garnishee
Fedex Corporation, therefore any objection defendant has with respect to the writ of
garnishment directed at Fedex Corporation, such an objection is moot. Further, plaintiff
attached the Certificate of Indebtedness to the complaint, and defendant has not presented
any evidence to the contrary. Therefore, to the extent defendant’s request for a hearing

-1-

is a veiled motion to set aside the default judgment entered in this action, defendant’s bare
allegation that she paid this debt years ago is insufficient to demonstrate good cause to set
aside the default judgment in this matter.
Accordingly,
Defendant’s request for hearing [#21] is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
