Limitation on Frequency of Garnishments

The judge or judges of each judicial district may promulgate a rule for such district substantially as follows:

LIMITATION ON FREQUENCY OF GARNISHMENTS

Except as provided in this rule, no more than two garnishments shall be issued out of this court applicable to the same claim or claims and against the same judgment debtor in any thirty (30) day period.

A judge of this court may order an exception to this rule in any case in which the party seeking the garnishment shall in person or by attorney: (a) certify that the garnishment is not for the purpose of harassment of the debtor, and (b) state facts demonstrating to the satisfaction of the judge that there is reason to believe that the garnishee has property or credits of the debtor which are not exempt from execution.
