attachment is based; (3) the attachment is not sought for a purpose other than recovery on the claim upon which the attachment is based; and (4) the amount to be secured by the attachment is greater than zero. (Code Civ. Proc., Sec. 484.090(a).)

Alfaro seeks a writ of attachment in the amount of $289,887.55, consisting of an alleged unpaid principal balance of $239,887.55 and estimated allowable attorney fees of $50,000.00. Alfaro further seeks contractual interest accruing at 18 percent per annum and taxable costs of suit. According to Alfaro, Defendant is obligated to pay the foregoing amount for agricultural labor Alfaro performed pursuant to a contract with Defendant. Defendant has not made any payments.

Defendant alleges that Alfaro picked undersized and overripe fruit and tried to cover it up by commingling it with other acceptable fruit. However, Defendant states that it is willing to pay Alfaro after deducting its damages in the amount of $69,558.125. According to Defendant, the amount owed is no more than $170,329.42. Defendant argues the amount owed to Alfaro is not readily ascertainable because the alleged amount of debt is a heavily disputed number.

Here, Defendant appears to concede that it owes Alfaro some amount per the terms of the contract. Defendant states the amount owed is $170,329.42 at most, before further offsets. Defendant's argument that further offsets need to be determined is not persuasive because Defendant has already quantified the amount of damages it sustained. In addition, Defendant's argument that the damages amount cannot be quantified is unsupported by any legal authority. The Court finds Alfaro has met the statutory requirements for issuance of a right to attach order.
