no, from what ice told me, you can have the case stopped yourself and refile at a later time. but also, its my understanding that if you do the lien in affidavit form, even if the judge dismisses the case, the lien stays in place (unrebutted affidavit). rule 64 is just to protect you from charges for filing the lien, you have total control over it being dismissed or not. getting to the involuntary bankruptcy, i may try that myself. cant hurt.
