CompFox AI Summary

This case involves Dr. Kevin Aminian's lien being dismissed by a workers' compensation judge. Dr. Aminian petitioned for reconsideration, arguing he was denied due process as his objection to a notice of intention to dismiss was filed before the dismissal order, and he was not contacted by the defendant prior to the dismissal notice. The Appeals Board granted the petition, rescinded the dismissal order, and returned the matter for the judge to consider Dr. Aminian's objection and decide whether to hold a new lien conference or reissue the dismissal. The Board found that the objection was timely filed, despite the judge's initial recommendation to deny reconsideration.
