William Mickens vs. New England Patriots

Dr. Einbund, the applicant's treating physician, petitioned for removal to prevent a deposition of his transcriber, Jamie Hill, alleging harassment. However, the defendant later informed the WCJ that the deposition was cancelled as Ms. Hill was not the correct transcriber in this case. Consequently, the Appeals Board dismissed Dr. Einbund's petition as moot.

JACALYN HALE (Deceased) vs. MESA MEDICAL GROUP, ACE USA c/o ESIS, EMPLOYERS COMPENSATION INSURANCE COMPANY

The Appeals Board dismissed ECIC's Petition for Reconsideration because the WCJ's order regarding contribution proceedings was not a final determination of substantive rights. The Board also denied ECIC's Petition for Removal, finding no evidence of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm from the WCJ's statement that the contribution issue might eventually be subject to mandatory arbitration. The WCJ had merely overruled ECIC's objection to ACE/ESIS's contribution petition and allowed discovery, not ordered arbitration itself. Therefore, any arguments about mandatory arbitration were premature.

FELICITAS JONES-MORGAN vs. COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded a prior decision, and returned the case to the trial level for further proceedings. The Board found that the lien claimant's lien was not barred by Labor Code section 4903.5, as it was timely filed. Additionally, the Board determined that the doctrine of laches did not apply because the defendant failed to demonstrate prejudice resulting from the lien claimant's delay.
