CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns applicant's petition for removal after the WCJ denied their request for a new Qualified Medical Examiner (QME) panel. The denial was based on the original QME's failure to issue a timely supplemental report despite two requests. Although the QME claimed non-receipt of the requests, the supplemental report has now been provided. The Appeals Board denied removal, finding that issuing a new panel would only cause further delay given the report is now available.
