JANET PARKER vs. COSTCO WHOLESALE, SEDGWICK CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES

This case involves a defendant's petition to remove an order limiting discovery subpoenas. The defendant sought medical records related to the applicant's spine, left knee, hernia, pain syndrome, arthritis, and obesity, arguing relevance to claimed injuries. The applicant agreed to include left knee records but not other potentially unrelated conditions. The Appeals Board granted the petition, amended the order to include left knee records, and allowed parties twenty days to reach an informal agreement on other records, otherwise returning the matter to the trial level.
