• “the fact that the state court judgment later recognized the lien and empowered the Harlans to enforce it does not change its character to a judicial lien.”
• “the fact that the state court judgment later recognized the lien and empowered the Harlans to enforce it does not change its character to a judicial lien.”
• “Case law throughout the country has routinely determined that a mechanic’s lien, or similar liens arising by means of a state’s statutory enactment, are at their base statutory liens.”
• “[T]he nature of a lien as either a ‘judicial lien’ or a ‘statutory lien’ is determined by means of the manner in which the lien arises originally . . . .”
• judicial action to foreclose a statutory mechanic's lien in order to enforce it does not alter the characterization of the lien, and the entry of judgment on foreclosure of the mechanic's lien does not convert a statutory mechanic's lien into a judicial lien
