CompFox AI Summary

This case concerns two workers' compensation claims by Michael Kellum against Home Depot for injuries sustained in 2002 and 2003. The defendant sought removal because the administrative law judge (WCJ) improperly kept one case off calendar while setting the other for trial, potentially causing prejudice. The Appeals Board granted removal, finding the cases should be addressed concurrently at the trial level, rather than waiting for the applicant's full knee treatment.
