She in turn is getting Bob Vote to handle. In the documents I received yesterday, I only saw an application for writ of garnishment, not a signed order--do you have one?

In the writ, the court very unambiguously and very plainly commands that EECC is not to pay any debt or deliver any property to CIGSA pending further orders from the court. The writ was issued to enforce an judgment for $1.3 million awarded by the court against CIGSA in favor of Richard P Estrada. EECC is also commanded to appear before the court and list all funds/assets in our possession that might belong to CIGSA, and to disclose what other persons we know ofif any, that might have such funds or assets. The lawyer for Mr. Estrada is the same lawyer who successfully garnished EECC in the past to collect sums owed other CIGSA judgment creditors. Please take this prohibition as applying even to cases where CIGSA might be entitled to the money or the property under our contracts with them, or where the funds or property are in joint venture acounts or custody in the US or Mexico until we have had a chance to review matters in detail and make a more accurate assessment. In the meantime, effective immediately, do not make ANY payments to or on behalf of, or release ANY property to or on behalf of, any CIGSA entity without first obtaining legal department approval. The court may impose penalties for violations of its garnishment order. We will assemble an appropriate litigation team to work onthis matter. Randy Pais will be handling this for EEOS legal. I suggest that Mike Pearson and Mark Brand get the word out to the Project Management and Project Control teams on this matter ASAP. JWVS
