(7)

If you fail to take these steps, the court may hold you liable for the value of the

property you should have withheld.

(8)

You may deliver to the judgment debtor in the normal course any property

greater than you are required to withhold.

(9)

Multiple Writs of Garnishment for the same judgment debtor may be served on

you, but only one Writ of Garnishment may be in effect at one time. You must

satisfy the writs in the order in which they are served. When an earlier Writ of

Garnishment expires or is satisfied, you must then satisfy the next writ. However,

a Writ of Continuing Garnishment in favor of the Office of Recovery Services or

the Department of Workforce Services takes precedence over other writs and

must be satisfied first. Also, a Writ of Continuing Garnishment in favor of the

Office of Recovery Services or the Department of Workforce Services continues

indefinitely until fully satisfied, placing earlier writs on hold. These instructions do

not apply to writs or orders entered by other courts or governmental agencies.
