No. 302.

319 N.W.2d 254 (1982)

ST. LUKE'S MEDICAL CENTER, Appellee, v. Gilbert LOERA and Alicia Loera, Defendants, and Iowa Beef Processors, Inc., Appellant.

Supreme Court of Iowa.

May 19, 1982.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David J. Blair, Sioux City, for appellant.

Donald W. Sylvester, Sioux City, for appellee.

Considered by REYNOLDSON, C. J., and LeGRAND, HARRIS, McCORMICK, and ALLBEE, JJ.


McCORMICK, Justice.

The question here is whether a judgment creditor is limited to total annual garnishments of $250 against the earnings of any one debtor no matter how many judgments against the debtor the creditor may have. The trial court held that a creditor is entitled by statute to garnish up to $250 of the debtor's earnings annually on each judgment. We disagree and therefore reverse the garnishment judgment in the present case.
