Uricich v. Kolesar

The plaintiff obtained a judgment against the defendant and thereafter instituted proceedings in aid of execution wherein the county of Cuyahoga and John J. Boyle, county treasurer, were named as garnishees. A motion to quash service was filed by the garnishees. The court sustained the motion on the ground that the judgment debtor was a county employee. In effect the court held that the county, or county officers acting in its behalf, cannot be made garnishees. Error proceedings were instituted in this court seeking a reversal of the ruling of the Common Pleas Court.
