Mohawk Global Logistics collection chronology

Mohawk Global Logistics sued Free Range Meat LLC for unpaid freight charges on 2025-11-20 and took a $17,571.61 clerk-entered default judgment on 2026-01-09. Tufano filed his own action against Mohawk over the same billing relationship six weeks later, on 2026-02-23, while Mohawk was moving to execute; Mohawk garnished the company's bank account in March 2026.

Strongest source-backed point

Mohawk's complaint and Tufano's Motion to Vacate Default Judgment were read directly, and the judgment, writ of execution, garnishment return and garnishee answer are all docketed on the Lackawanna portal with amounts confirmed in the county Judgment Index.

Research assessment

The order of events is the finding: the tracker previously held only C033, Tufano's action, and so recorded the dispute as one he initiated. He did not. Whether the sequence amounts to filing after an adverse decision is deliberately left open rather than coded as an indicator, because the adverse outcome was a clerk-entered default against a differently named party and not a judicial decision on any claim of his.

Important caveat

No judge was assigned to C104 and nothing in it was judicially decided. Tufano's Motion to Dismiss and Motion to Vacate Default Judgment were both dated 2025-12-29 and the latter was docketed a day before the default judgment was entered, so the apparent out-of-order docket sequence is a filing-lag artefact. The Motion to Dismiss has no scanned image on file and its contents were not read. C104 remains open with no coded disposition.
