OPINION

WELLFORD, Circuit Judge.

Plaintiff Kimberly G. McLaughlin appeals from the district court’s judgment which found that her due process challenge to the constitutionality of Tennessee Code Annotated § 29-6-101, et seq., the statute dealing with attachment, was without merit. Because we find that this statute is not facially invalid as lacking due process, and that even if it was, there were adequate state remedies McLaughlin could have pursued, we affirm the judgment of the district court and find that McLaughlin’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim must fail.
