*880 OPINION LANSING, Judge. Kevin Giebel, the appellant, filed attorney liens seeking payment for work done by his former law partner. On a motion for expedited review of the liens under Minn. Stat. § 545.05 (2006), the district court removed the liens, enjoined Giebel from filing further liens, and ordered Giebel to pay attorneys' fees. Because section 545.05 applies only to liens governed by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and attorney liens are not governed by Article 9, we reverse.
