District Court, District of Columbia October 30, 1997, CIV. A. 97-0576(JR) (Hadley-Memorial Hospital v. Kynard)

MEMORANDUM

ROBERTSON, District Judge.

This case raises an important question about the interplay between D.C. garnishment law and a new federal statutory provision, 5 U.S.C. § 5520a(j)(2) (1996), that allows the government to exact fees for the administration of garnishment.
