CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board withdrew a Notice of Intention to Issue Sanctions against lien claimant Mednet, Inc. and its representative, Michael Goldberg. Initially, sanctions were considered for filing a skeletal, unverified Petition for Reconsideration and failing to appear at a lien conference, deemed bad faith actions causing delay. However, after Mednet explained the actions as an "honest mistake" due to lack of experience and apologized, the Board found the petition was not filed in bad faith or as a frivolous tactic. Mednet was admonished to familiarize itself with Appeals Board rules regarding liens and filings, but sanctions were ultimately withdrawn.
