CompFox AI Summary
Defendant sought removal of an order continuing trial, arguing applicant's readiness to proceed was defective and further discovery, including a QME reexamination, was needed. However, subsequent events, including rescheduling the trial as a mandatory settlement conference and the parties requesting another supplemental QME report, rendered the petition moot. Consequently, the Appeals Board dismissed the Petition for Removal as moot because the case was no longer set for trial and discovery remained open.
