ORDER

This matter is before the Court on the motion of the intervening plaintiff, Merlin Petroleum Co.

(“Merlin”) for order to issue warrant of maritime arrest. (Doc. 12). The file reflects that the vessel was

arrested on April 18, 2005, pursuant to the Court’s order of the same date granting the original

plaintiff’s motion for issuance of arrest warrant. (Doc. 10). Because the vessel has already been

arrested, “the Marshal need not re-arrest ... the vessel.” Local Admiralty Rule 6(a). Accordingly, the

motion for warrant of arrest is denied.
