CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied a petition for reconsideration filed by Liening Edge, Inc. on behalf of lien claimant Metrics Medical Group. The petition was denied on the merits due to Liening Edge and its "Director of Operations" lacking standing as they were not the official representative of record for Metrics Medical Group. Although the verification technically complied with Labor Code section 5902, the Board adopted the Workers' Compensation Judge's report, which detailed the lien claimant's failure to appear at scheduled hearings and their subsequent improper petition. Therefore, reconsideration was denied and the original decision imposing costs and sanctions was upheld.
