The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to former counsel Sami Yasharpour, who sought to challenge attorney fee awards. The Board found Yasharpour's petition timely because he was never served with the contested orders. While dismissing claims related to orders that deferred attorney fee division, the Board rescinded the March 13, 2008 order, which appeared to finalize fee distribution, and returned the case for a hearing to ensure Yasharpour had due process regarding his fee entitlement.
