CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied a petition for reconsideration filed by lien claimant NCL Pharmaceuticals. The lien was dismissed after the claimant failed to appear at a lien conference despite proper notice and did not respond to a Notice of Intent to Dismiss. The Board adopted the WCJ's report, which found the petition lacked merit and suggested sanctions for its frivolous nature. The WCJ also questioned the petitioner's standing and the claimant's admitted "inadvertence miscalendaring" as a basis for vacating the dismissal.
