CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Curtis Ward's second petition for removal, finding his allegations of bias against the Workers' Compensation Judge mirrored a prior denied petition. However, the Board granted removal on its own motion to issue a notice of intention to impose sanctions against Ward's attorney. This action is due to the attorney's violation of rules prohibiting the attachment of over 300 pages of documents to the petition, which burdened board resources. The attorney faces a potential sanction of up to $1,000 unless she demonstrates good cause to the contrary.
