ALFONSO ACEVEDO vs. AMCOR PACKAGING DISTRIBUTION/MERCURY CONTAINER, CLAIMQUEST WALNUT

This case involves defendant Amcor Packaging Distribution's petition for removal, which the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied. The defendant sought to defer the issue of §5710 attorney's fees based on allegations of applicant fraud, citing *Mitchell v. Golden Eagle Insurance*. However, the judge found the defendant failed to demonstrate good cause for deferral at the hearing. The Board also admonished defendant's attorney for violating procedural rules by appending irrelevant case law and previously filed documents.
