CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration because it was "skeletal," lacking specific legal arguments or references to the record. The petition merely requested that attorney fees, already awarded to the current attorney of record, be held in trust by the defendant instead. Furthermore, the WCAB initiated removal of the case and issued a notice of intention to impose sanctions against the lien claimant's attorney for filing a frivolous petition that wasted judicial resources. Sanctions up to $500.00 may be imposed unless good cause is shown within 15 days.
