United States Fourth Circuit

Plaintiff's attempt to enforce a judgment against defendant through a writ of attachment in aid of execution of defendant's property, was quashed by the Court, finding that plaintiff's acceptance of a compensatory payment under section 2002 of the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 relinquished their rights to effect the sale of properties in satisfaction of their judgment.
