         1                        THE COURT:  YOU CAN ALL SIT DOWN.

         2                  SOMEONE, I THINK AN ATTORNEY, CALLED MY

         3                  OFFICE AND SPOKE TO MY LAW CLERK.  I GUESS

         4                  IT WAS MR. LYNCH, I PRESUME.  AND THEY ARE

         5                  ASSERTING A LIEN ON THE -- I GUESS IN THIS

         6                  CASE.  BUT I BELIEVE UNDER THE MCARE ACT,

         7                  EVEN ASSUMING FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT, AND

         8                  I KNOW YOU CONTEST THE FACT THAT ANY

         9                  ADDITIONAL INJURIES ARE RELATED TO WORK.

        10                  YOU ARE SAYING THAT HE WOULD HAVE STILL

        11                  LOST THE WORK DESPITE ANY NEGLIGENCE ON THE

        12                  PART OF DR. MARCHETTI.  NOT WITHSTANDING

        13                  THAT FACT, I THINK THE MCARE ACT PRETTY

        14                  MUCH, THE WAY I VIEW IT, PRECLUDES THE

        15                  ASSERTION OF THE LIEN BECAUSE YOU ARE

        16                  PRECLUDED FROM RECOVERING FOR LOST WAGES

        17                  AND MEDICALS THAT HAVE BEEN COVERED,

        18                  REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY ARE SUBJECT TO A

        19                  LIEN OR NOT IT APPEARS.

        20                              MR. FREIWALD:  YOUR HONOR, A
