Narrative:
I was called out to defer the left/H wing anti-ice valve per MEL on a crj-700. The work was completed but I apparently left the MEL manual paperwork in the area of the valve. Later the flight crew made a maintenance discrepancy that they felt binding in the rudder. The paperwork that was left in the valve area had worked its way to the flight control cables and was rubbing against the rudder cables.to prevent a recurrence I will double check that all paperwork has removed after the work has been complete.
