ORDER & REASONS
FALLON, District Judge.
The long legal voyage of Noor Begum Karim precipitated by his travails aboard the M/V LOUSSIO may finally be coming to an end. Following a trial and verdict for the plaintiff the judgement proceeds were deposited in the Registry of the Court. Plaintiffs counsel now moves this Court for an order granting him permission to withdraw funds for payment of his fees, litigation costs and outstanding medical expenses. This decision considers that request and the amount of funds appropriate for distribution to both Karim and his counsel.
