ORDER
13
14
This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Order Directing the United
15
States Marshal to Serve Writ of Garnishment (#744), filed on March 11, 2013. Oppositions to the
16
Motion were due March 28, 2013.
17
Plaintiffs represent that on May 22, 2012, they issued a Writ of Garnishment to the United
18
States Marshal’s Service (“USMS”) for service on Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
19
(“Metlife”). On September 17, 2012, this Court permitted seizure of Defendant Fredrick Rizzolo’s
20
various annuity accounts including “the annuity issued to Kimtran Rizzolo by Metropolitan Life
21
Insurance Company[.]” See Order, Doc. # 634 at 11:12-13. Plaintiffs represent they subsequently
22
issued a second Writ of Garnishment to the USMS for the Southern District of Iowa, which again
23
refused to serve the Writ on Metlife. This Court later stated that “[g]iven the garnishment
24
procedures under the Nevada law, there appears to be no valid reason for not serving the writ of
25
garnishment and seizure on Metlife.” See October 12, 2012 Order, Doc. #664 at 5 n. 1.
26
Nevertheless, Plaintiffs claim the USMS still refuses to serve the Writ on Metlife without a court
27
order.
