Any creditor is entitled to proceed by garnishment in any court having jurisdiction of the

subject of the action against any person, any public corporation, the United States, the state of

North Dakota, or any institution, department, or agency of the state, indebted to or having any

property in possession or under control, belonging to the creditor's debtor after securing a
