Eighth Circuit: Brandon Pierce v. Collection Associates, Inc.

Co-petitioner in bankruptcy does not have standing to challenge pre-petition transfer of co-petitioner.

As the amount of wages garnished prior to the filing of the partition was under the statutory cap of $600, the garnishment can't be avoided by the petitioner.

Dissent: As garnishor is assigned value of the wages upon earning, the amount of the garnishment exceeds the cap.
