MEMORANDUM-DECISION AND ORDER
MUNSON, Chief Judge.
This suit involves a challenge to New York’s wage garnishment procedures. See N.Y.C.P.L.R. §§ 5230, 5231, 5240 (McKinney 1978 & Supp. 1987); N.Y. Uniform City Ct. Act (“UCCA”) §§ 1501, 1504, 2102 (McKinney Supp.1987). 1 Plaintiffs bring this action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1982), contending that defendants, acting under color of state law, have deprived plaintiffs of wages which are exempt from garnishment by § 303 of the Consumer Credit Protection Act (“CCPA”), 15 U.S.C. § 1673 (1982), thereby denying them “rights, privileges, or immunities”…
