The Appeals Board dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration. They granted removal on their own motion, rescinded the WCJ's order striking the PQME's report, and returned the matter for further development of the record. This action was taken because the record was unclear as to who performed diagnostic testing, potentially violating Labor Code section 4628. The Board directed parties to first obtain a supplemental report from the PQME to clarify this issue.
