NORRIS MELLON vs. STATE OF CALIFORNIA - DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND

This case involves a lien claimant seeking reconsideration of a judge's order directing parties to bankruptcy court. The Appeals Board dismissed the claimant's petition for reconsideration as untimely and moot. However, the Board removed the case on its own motion to obtain a report from the judge. This report is needed to clarify the basis for the judge's order and evidence of the lien claimant's notice of bankruptcy proceedings.
