The Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded a prior order dismissing Dr. Montgomery's lien for non-appearance. The dismissal was based on a failure to appear at a lien conference and insufficient cause for absence, but Dr. Montgomery argued he was never served with the order. Due to the lack of proof of service and Dr. Montgomery's actual knowledge of the order only upon appearing at a later conference, the Board found his petition timely filed and his due process rights violated.
