The defendant sought to have the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) amend the Minutes of Hearing to include certain "stricken" issues. The WCAB denied this Petition for Removal.

The Board found no reason to bifurcate the issues, as evidence and testimony on all matters were already present.
