Irene Cota vs. C.R. Courier Services, Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc.

Gallagher Bassett's untimely and unverified petition for removal was dismissed. The Appeals Board granted removal on its own motion to address a lack of clarity regarding Gallagher's party status and the case's disposition. Due to missing or incomplete electronic and paper files, the Board could not determine Gallagher's involvement or the case's procedural history. The Order continuing the case for sanctions was rescinded, and the matter was returned to the trial level to identify the correct employer/administrator before proceeding.
