1Opinion of the Court
This is a garnishment action.
First Alabama Bank (Bank) obtained a judgment against Ernest Pattillo in the amount of $31,639.01, plus court costs and interest. The Bank filed a writ of garnishment directed to the State of Alabama in an attempt to collect its judgment.
The garnishee's answer was filed by the State Comptroller, Agent for the State of Alabama (Comptroller), as Pattillo is employed by the State. The Comptroller stated in the garnishee's answer that Pattillo's disposable income was not sufficient to be subject to garnishment. The Bank contested the answer of the garnishee.
