A plaintiff filed a motion for "turnover order." The court granted the motion in part. This action had been removed from a New York State court to a federal district court. The plaintiff had moved for summary judgment in lieu of complaint, alleging that the defendant had failed to repay a loan and owed principal, late fees and attorney fees.
The motion for summary judgment had been granted and judgment had been entered in the amount of $511,797.50. The parties had stipulated that the attorney fees award would be $38,000. However, the defendant had not paid the judgment.
