CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's Petition for Removal, reversing the denial of their venue change request. The defendant argued their objection to venue was timely as they only received notice on July 24, 2013. The Board found this assertion credible due to applicant's lack of response. Consequently, venue is changed from Marina del Rey to the Fresno district office, as neither the applicant's residence nor the employer's location has a local office.
