GERARDO LUA vs. BALDWIN PARK CAR WASH, STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANY

Here's a summary of the case for a lawyer in four sentences:

Defendant Baldwin Park Car Wash and State Farm Insurance sought removal, arguing the Appeals Board lacked jurisdiction due to a prior dismissal of the claim. The Appeals Board denied the petition, adopting the WCJ's reasoning that defendant retained all rights to defend lien claims. The Board explicitly stated it expressed no opinion on the merits of the outstanding lien issues. The order signifies that the case will proceed to lien trial as scheduled.
