O R D E R

On January 17, 2006, the law firm of Rosenfelt & Buffington,

P.A. filed a Notice of Attorney Lien (doc. 97). Later that year,

at a July 21, 2006, conference, a settlement was reached (doc.

110). Thereafter, at a January 22, 2007, status conference, the

court dismissed this action as against the defendant, the United

States of America (docs. 120 and 122 at 18). The court did,

however, retain jurisdiction “for the purpose of determining

attorney’s lien perfected by and sought to be enforced by the New

Mexico law firm of Rosenfelt [&] Buffington.” Doc. 122 at 18.

Some months later, on July 19, 2007, the Rosenfelt law firm

filed a “Motion for Order Granting Attorney’s Lien with Respect

to Costs” (doc. 128). A timely response (doc. 131) and reply

(doc. 132) were also filed. On December 13, 2007, however, the

Rosenfelt law firm filed a “Withdrawal of Notice of Attorney

Lien, Motion for Order Granting Attorney’s Lien with Respect to

Costs and Memorandum in Support” (doc. 133). In light of this

withdrawal, 

IT IS ORDERED that the motion for an attorney’s lien with

respect to costs (doc. 128) is DENIED without prejudice as moot,

and the Clerk is directed to terminate this action.

DATED this 9th day of January, 2008.
