ORDER
ANTHONY E. PORCELLI, Magistrate Judge.
This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion for Writ of Garnishment (Doc. 19). A judgment in the amount of $4,455.00 was entered in this action on February 13, 2019 (Doc. 14). According to Plaintiff, the judgment remains unsatisfied. Plaintiff believes that Defendants may have a bank account or other property in the possession or control of the Garnishee, Bank OZK, and, by the instant motion, now requests that the Court issue a writ of garnishment directed to the Garnishee in order to recover on the outstanding judgment.
Pursuant to Rule 69, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court must follow state law regarding execution of a judgment. Florida Statute § 77.01 et. seq. allows recovery of a money judgment via a writ of garnishment. Thus, the Court may enforce the judgment through a writ of garnishment pursuant to Florida law. Upon consideration, the Court finds good cause to grant the motion. Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED:
1. Plaintiff's Motion for Writ of Garnishment. (Doc. 19) is GRANTED.
2. The Clerk is hereby directed to issue a writ of garnishment upon Garnishee Bank OZK as set forth in Plaintiff's proposed writ of garnishment (Doc. 19).
DONE AND ORDERED.
