Should we do a partial release of a mechanics lien or a full lien release/cancellation? In California.

California

We are concrete ready mix company. We filed two mechanics liens on the same property/job but for different amounts owed. The first lien has been paid and satisfied. The contractor would like to see that we have lifted this lien before they will pay us for the other. The order numbers for both liens are different but both are listed/combined under one "job" on levelset. There are three invoices for the three pour dates - 2 on lien and 1 on the other. Should we do a partial realease to ensure the second lien is affected ? Or, do we do a lien cancellation?

If the first lien has been paid and satisfied, I would record a release of that lien. The release of lien should expressly reference the recording number of the lien to be released, so there shouldn't be any confusion regarding releasing the second lien.
