Galt Ocean Manor Condominium Ass'n v. Koppelman
Opinion of the Court
Appellant, Galt Ocean Manor Condominium Association, Inc. (“the Association”), appeals the following two orders: (1) Order on Plaintiffs’ (“Owners”) Motion for Relief from Judgment and Stay of Enforcement; and (2) Order on Plaintiffs’ (“Owners”) Claims for Exemptions from Garnishment and Requiring Disgorgement of Any Assets Previously Garnished.

Accordingly, this case is dismissed.
Dismissed.
