[WSBARP] Garnishment

[Kary Krismer]

Before I answer, let me go check my mailbox.

Whew.  Okay.  It would IMHO be the broker, but I would question whether 
a continuing writ works in an independent contractor situation.  I don't 
know that it doesn't, but I'm too lazy to look at that .  If it doesn't 
you'd have difficult timing issues, particularly where the agent was 
representing a buyer.
