The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the California Physician Network's Petition for Reconsideration because it was not timely filed. The petition was first received by the Board on August 29, 2013, well past the August 9th deadline after the July 10th order dismissing the lien. Furthermore, the petition was unverified and failed to state any specific legal grounds for reconsideration as required by statute. The Board also noted that even if the merits were considered, the petition would have been denied due to its "skeletal" nature and lack of evidentiary support.
