TONY BUIE vs. PORT O SAN, TRANSCONTINENTAL INSURANCE COMPANY AMERICAN CASUALTY

This case involves a lien claimant, Sutter Hospital, seeking reconsideration of a denial of its lien. The lien was denied due to the claimant's failure to appear at a lien conference and respond to a Notice of Intent to Deny. The Appeals Board affirmed the denial, finding that the claimant's subsequent objection letter, received after the final order, could not be treated as a timely petition for reconsideration. The Board emphasized that statutory time limits for reconsideration are jurisdictional and cannot be waived. Therefore, the petition for reconsideration was denied.
