ELLISON GRAPHICS CORPORATION, ETC., ET AL., APPELLEES/CROSS-APPELLANTS

Fla. 4th DCA | 1992-03-04
No. 91-1542
HERSEY, STONE and GARRETT, JJ., concur.
594 So. 2d 342 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (1992) Positive Treatment
Cited by 12 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the final judgment. However, we reverse and remand as to the amount of the attorney’s fees award. Appellant/garnishee was not “an innocent stake holder drawn into controversy” but resisted the writ of garnishment on its own behalf and for its own interest. United States Pipe and Foundry Co. v. Holcomb Pipe Lines, Inc., 465 F. 2d 827 (5th Cir.1972); Ebsary Foundation Co. v. Barnett Bank, 569 So. 2d 806 (Fla. 3d DCA 1990). On remand, we direct the trial judge to restrict appellant/garnishee’s attorney’s fees award to the $100 deposit provided by section 77.28, Florida Statutes (1989). Ebsary.

AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART AND REMANDED WITH DIRECTIONS.

HERSEY, STONE and GARRETT, JJ., concur.
