Terms Used In 7 Guam Code Ann. § 23112

  • Plaintiff: The person who files the complaint in a civil lawsuit.
  • Writ: A formal written command, issued from the court, requiring the performance of a specific act.
(a) Except in the case of a levy on earnings, the marshal must execute the writ against the property of the judgment debtor, by levying on a sufficient amount of property, if there be sufficient, collecting or selling the things in action, and selling the other property and paying to the plaintiff or his attorney so much of the proceeds as will satisfy the judgment.
(b) Any excess in the proceeds over the judgment and accrued costs must be returned to the judgment debtor, unless otherwise directed by the judgment or order of the court.

(c) When there is more property of the judgment debtor than is sufficient to satisfy the judgment and accrued costs within the view of the marshal, he must levy only on such part of the property as the judgment debtor may indicate, if the property indicated be amply sufficient to satisfy the judgment and costs.
