United Farm Agency of Florida, Inc. v. DKLS, Inc.

Florida District Courts of Appeal
United Farm Agency of Florida, Inc. v. DKLS, Inc., 585 So. 2d 1139 (1991)
1991 Fla. App. LEXIS 9553; 1991 WL 181489
Baskin, Goderich, Jorgenson

United Farm Agency of Florida, Inc. v. DKLS, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

United Farm Agency of Florida, Inc., appeals from a final order invalidating an attempted levy that was based on a judgment for brokerage fees. We affirm.

Although we sympathize with United Farm’s plight, we agree with the trial court’s ruling that the proper means of executing a judgment is to institute proceedings supplementary. See § 56.29, Fla. Stat. (1989). Proceedings supplementary to execution are the intended means for a judgment creditor to receive satisfaction of *1140a judgment. See Advertects, Inc. v. Sawyer Indus., 84 So.2d 21 (Fla. 1956).

Therefore, we affirm without prejudice to United Farm to bring proceedings supplementary to execution.
