Reliford Clark, Jr. a/k/a Reliford Clark a/k/a Buster J. Clark a/k/a Buster J. Clark, Jr. appeals the trial court’s order granting Clyde Hayward Chapman’s “Motion to Produce All Property of Clark Land Development, Inc. and Set Aside Transfer of Property.” Chapman initiated this action by filing a “Complaint for Injunctive Relief and Levy of Corporate Stock” against Clark and Clark Land Development, Inc. “CLD”. Clark was owner, officer and registered agent of CLD, a Georgia corporation, at the time Chapman filed his complaint. The complaint sought to enforce a judgment from an earlier lawsuit addressing the dissolution of a Georgia general partnership between Clark and Chapman the “Judgment”. The complaint sought to levy upon CLD stock in partial satisfaction of the Judgment, and in that regard sought to enjoin Clark from transferring any interest in the stock to third parties.1 After Clark answered the complaint, Chapman moved for judgment on the pleadings, and the trial court granted that motion on June 16, 2008, ordering the sheriff to levy on all of CLD’s stock and enjoining Clark from “selling, trading, bartering, donating, hypothecating, or otherwise transferring any interest in the common stock of CLD pending the satisfaction of the Judgment.” One week later, the trial court amended its order to direct Clark to produce the CLD stock certificates to the sheriff by June 30, 2008 collectively hereinafter the “June orders”. Clark did not appeal either of these orders, and it appears that he delivered the stock certificates to the sheriff as ordered by the Court. Chapman apparently purchased those shares at auction on or around September2008.

The next day, Chapman filed the motion to produce and set aside that is the subject of this appeal. In support of that motion, Chapman asserted that after delivering the CLD stock to the sheriff, Clark caused CLD to sell to Clark, individually, a tract of South Carolina real property belonging to the corporation less than one month prior to the auction of the CLD shares. He attached a copy of a deed from a South Carolina deed book showing the transfer of a tract of land from CLD to Clark on August 6, 2008. Clark signed the deed as president of CLD. In addition, Chapman alleged that Clark withdrew approximately $18,000 from a bank account held in CLD’s name.
