</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a subcontractor who filed a lien which included amounts for one of his subcontractors. The subsub also filed a lien and a lien foreclosure action was filed by the subcontractor with his subsub joining in. A settlement was reached
for the subsub to be paid. My client filed a partial satisfaction based on the settlement.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is anyone aware of a requirement that in addition to recording a partial satisfaction, that I must now amend the complaint to reflect the reduced amount of the lien? I received a 57.105 letter. I have researched the issue and haven’t
found anything specific.<o:p></o:p></p>
