CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the defendant's petition for reconsideration/removal. The defendant argued they were denied due process by an administrative order compelling document production, as they claimed never to have received the underlying motion and lacked opportunity to respond. However, the WCAB found the petition moot because the disputed lien claim was subsequently resolved by stipulation and order. The WCAB also noted the defendant's petition was filed the day before a hearing where the issue could have been rectified, and questioned why the defendant didn't withdraw the petition after the resolution.
