Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Tennessee

Wage Garnishment

I just received (11/26/07) a judgement in Civil Court for back rent owed me from a tenant I legally evicted in October. I just found out that the Tenant had filed Chapter 13 in 05/07. Can I proceed with a garnishment action in light of this Chapter 13 filing?
