CompFox AI Summary

The Appeals Board granted removal to rescind the WCJ's order vacating the dismissal of Coast Plaza Doctors Hospital's lien, as Coast's petition for reconsideration was untimely. The Board affirmed the dismissal of Coast's lien, even though the stated reason (failure to pay activation fee) was technically erroneous for a post-2013 lien. Finally, the Board affirmed the denial of the defendant's request to keep discovery closed regarding Beverly Hills Pharmacy's lien, and returned the case for further proceedings on that lien.
