The Appeals Board dismissed Warner Brothers' petition for removal, finding it was not the proper procedural vehicle to challenge the WCJ's order awarding medical-legal transportation and lodging expenses. The Board also denied the petition as a petition for reconsideration by operation of law, as it was filed more than 60 days prior. Even if the merits were considered, the petition would have been denied. The employer's arguments regarding Labor Code section 4621(d) and the doctor's report were implicitly rejected.
