Question:

Sniadach owed the Family Finance Corporation (FFC) $420 under a written promise to pay. When this debt became overdue, the creditor obtained a court order that summarily garnished her wages. Her employer had $63 in wages earned by her but not yet paid, and it agreed to hold one-half of them subject to the court order. Sniadach sued the FFC and asked the court to reverse the garnishment order, claiming that it violated her right to due process under the Fourteenth Amendment. She had received the summons and complaint on the same day that her employer was notified and froze her wages. Thus, she had no opportunity to be heard and to present her side of the case before the garnishment took effect. The trial court denied her motion, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court affirmed. She now appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court. How should it rule? (Sniadach v. Family Finance Corporation, 395 U.S. 337)
