(b) Garnishments. Garnishment procedure conforms with Tennessee state law. It shall be the duty of the United States Marshal serving the garnishment summons to obtain on the United States Marshal Form 285 an acknowledgement of service of the garnishment summons signed by the employer garnishee, if a corporation, company or business entity. If the employer garnishee or officer refuses to sign the Form 285, the Marshal shall sign and return to the Court a sworn statement on the Form 285 that the summons was duly served but the employer garnishee refused to sign an acknowledgement of service.
