CompFox AI Summary

This case involves a $750 sanction jointly imposed against Daniel Escamilla and Legal Service Bureau for filing a petition for reconsideration without proper diligence. The Appeals Board found that Mr. Escamilla failed to review crucial case documents, including typed minutes of hearing, leading to inaccurate assertions. This lack of diligence wasted judicial resources, although the sanction was reduced due to the possibility the petition was filed without actual knowledge of the falsehoods. The Board cited Mr. Escamilla's history of sanctions in determining the final amount.
