UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
OCALA DIVISION

CLAYTON REALTY COMPANY,
LLC,

Plaintiff,

v. Case No: 5:24-cv-319-JSM-PRL

KKM DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING
GROUP, INC.,

Defendant.

ORDER
This cause comes before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Issuance of Post-Judgment
Writ of Garnishment Against KKM Diagnostic Imaging Group, Inc. (Doc. 41). Plaintiff
moves for the issuance of a post-judgment writ of continuing garnishment directed at
Visionary Oncology of Ocala, LLC, as garnishee. (Id. at pp. 1, 3). Upon due consideration,
Plaintiff’s motion is granted.
I. BACKGROUND
On September 18, 2025, the Court entered final judgment in favor of Plaintiff and
against Defendant in the amount of $143,669.00. (Doc. 35; see Doc. 34). On October 21, 2025,
a bill of costs was taxed against Defendant in the amount of $2,191.20. (Doc. 40). Plaintiff
contends that Defendant has not satisfied any portion of the judgment, and that it has
information to indicate that Visionary Oncology of Ocala, LLC “is in the possession of funds
belonging to the [Defendant] which may be applied to the balance owed on the judgment.”
(Doc. 41 at p. 2). As such, Plaintiff seeks the issuance of a post-judgment writ of continuing
garnishment as to Visionary Oncology of Ocala, LLC in the amount of $151,046.65, which
includes the principal amount of $143,669.00, plus post-judgment interest of $5,186.45 and
costs of $2,191.20. (Id.).
II. LEGAL STANDARDS
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 69, a party may enforce a money

judgment by a writ of execution. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 69(a)(1). The procedure “must accord
with the procedure of the state where the court is located.” See id. In the state of Florida, a
person who has recovered a judgment in any court against any entity has a right to a writ of
garnishment. See Fla. Stat. § 77.01. Where the judgment debtor’s salary or wages are to be
garnished to satisfy a judgment, Fla. Stat. § 77.0305 allows the court to issue a continuing
writ of garnishment to the judgment debtor’s employer. See Fla. Stat. § 77.0305; Commc’ns
Ctr., Inc. v. Komatsu, No. 6:05-cv-1254-ORL-31UAM, 2008 WL 114920, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Jan.
8, 2008). A continuing writ of garnishment provides for “periodic payment of a portion of the
salary or wages of the judgment debtor as the salary or wages become due until the judgment

is satisfied or until otherwise provided by court order.” See Fla. Stat. § 77.0305.
Chapter 77 of the Florida Statutes sets forth the procedure for obtaining a writ of
garnishment under Florida law. “After judgment has been obtained against [a] defendant but
before the writ of garnishment is issued, the plaintiff[] . . . shall file a motion . . . stating the
amount of the judgment.” Fla. Stat. § 77.03. The proposed writ “shall state the amount named
in plaintiff’s motion” and “require the garnishee to serve an answer on the plaintiff within 20
days after service of the writ.” See Fla. Stat. § 77.04. Post-judgment writs of garnishment may
be issued ex parte and without notice to the judgment debtor. See United Presidential Life Ins. Co.
v. King, 361 So. 2d 710, 713 (Fla. 1978); Commc’ns Ctr., Inc. v. Komatsu, No. 6:05-cv-1254-
ORL-31GJK, 2008 WL 2717669, at *1 (M.D. Fla. June 27, 2008) (citing Brown v. Liberty Loan
Corp. of Duval, 539 F.2d 1355, 1363 (5th Cir. 1976)).
III. DISCUSSION
As Plaintiff has obtained a judgment against Defendant (Doc. 35), Plaintiff has a right

to a continuing writ of garnishment. See Fla. Stat. § 77.01. Plaintiff’s motion states the amount
of the judgment (see Doc. 41 at p. 2), and Plaintiff attached a proposed writ of garnishment as
an exhibit to the motion (see Doc. 41-1). The proposed writ states the amount in the motion
and directs Visionary Oncology of Ocala, LLC to respond within 20 days. (See Doc. 41-1 at
pp. 1-2).
IV. CONCLUSION
(1) Plaintiff’s Motion for Issuance of Post-Judgment Writ of Garnishment Against
KKM Diagnostic Imaging Group, Inc. (Doc. 41) is GRANTED.

(2) The Clerk of Court is directed to issue a continuing writ of garnishment to
Visionary Oncology of Ocala, LLC, located at 2518 Burnsed Boulevard, Suite 610,
The Villages, Florida 32163. The Clerk shall use the proposed Writ of Garnishment
attached to Plaintiff’s motion. (Doc. 41-1). The continuing writ of garnishment
shall include copies of Plaintiff’s motion (Doc. 41) and the judgment (Doc. 35).
The Clerk shall also attach to the writ the Notice to Defendant (Doc. 41-2) required
by Fla. Stat. § 77.041(1).
(3) Plaintiff is directed to comply with Fla. Stat. § 77.041(2).
DONE and ORDERED in Ocala, Florida on April 2, 2026.
