CompFox AI Summary

This case involves a Petition for Reconsideration filed by lien claimant Dr. Samer Alaiti regarding the dismissal of Miracle Mile Medical Center's (MMMC) lien. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Dr. Alaiti's petition because he was not "aggrieved" by the dismissal of MMMC's lien, as his own lien had been settled. Dr. Alaiti's representative admitted a calendar error for his own absence, but there was no indication this representative, or any other, was appearing for MMMC. The WCAB upheld the dismissal of MMMC's lien due to their failure to appear and object to the dismissal.
