UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
PENSACOLA DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
v. 	Case No.: 3:25-mc-18/MCR/ZCB
JOHN W. OXENDINE,
Defendant,
and
OPPENHEIMER & CO., INC.,
Garnishee.
_____________________/
ORDER
The Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation on September 18,
2025, after holding a hearing. 	See ECF No. 11. The Court furnished the parties a
copy of the Report and Recommendation and afforded an opportunity to file
objections pursuant to Title 28, United States Code, Section 636(b)(1). I have made
a de novo determination of all timely filed objections, see ECF No. 24, and have
considered the Government’s reply, ECF No. 25.
Having carefully considered the record, the law, the objections, and the Report
and Recommendation, which fully addressed the arguments, I have determined that

the Report and Recommendation should be adopted. No error of law is shown and,
to the contrary, the objections are misplaced given the applicable law.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED:
1. 	The Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, ECF No. 11, is
adopted and incorporated by reference in this Order.
2. 	The Defendant’s objections to the Government’s garnishment of the
401(k) 	account 	held 	by 	Oppenheimer 	& 	Co., 	Inc. 	and 	to 	the 	Report 	and
Recommendation are OVERRULED.
3. 	The Government’s garnishment of the 401(k) is allowed to proceed.
DONE AND ORDERED this 22nd day of September 2026.
