YANET DUARTE ORTUNI vs. LA PERLA MEXICANA A CORPORATION, INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE WEST

This case involves a defendant's petition to remove the matter due to the Presiding Workers' Compensation Judge's alleged denial of an expedited hearing on a PQME specialty dispute. The applicant countered that the PQME appointment had been canceled. The Appeals Board dismissed the petition as moot because the cancellation of the PQME appointment resolved the underlying dispute. Therefore, the Petition for Removal was dismissed.
