CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Lisa Mendoza's Petition for Removal, finding no irreparable harm or significant prejudice. The Board adopted the Administrative Law Judge's report, which determined that removal was not warranted despite disputes over discovery completion. The case remains off calendar pending deposition of applicant's vocational expert and receipt of a supplemental report from Dr. Isaac. The Board declined to rule on closing discovery regarding Dr. Charles's supplemental report, leaving that to the ALJ if the case is returned to the calendar.
