CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted applicant's Petition for Removal, rescinding an order that closed discovery and set a trial date. This was because a court-ordered neurology panel Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) was not selected until after discovery was closed, despite delays from the Medical Unit. The Board agreed that applicant should not be prejudiced by this delay and allowed for the QME evaluation to proceed. Consequently, the trial was converted to a status conference.
