CompFox AI Summary

Here's a concise summary for a lawyer:

The Appeals Board denied defendant's Petition for Removal, finding they failed to show irreparable harm or substantial prejudice from proceeding to trial. Defendant argued discovery was incomplete due to recent information regarding the applicant's alleged criminal conduct potentially affecting credibility. The majority ruled removal is an extraordinary remedy and that any issues could be addressed on reconsideration after trial. One Commissioner dissented, arguing that denying discovery on a critical credibility issue violates due process and substantial justice.
