United States Seventh Circuit

In proceedings to collect a money judgment against defendant, an order requiring a third party which was indebted to defendant to turn over funds directly to plaintiffs is affirmed where: 1) a state procedural rule could not divest the district court of subject-matter jurisdiction; and 2) there was no clear error in a determination that the third party owed a debt to defendant, or in the calculation of the amount of the debt.
