CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted the applicant's Petition for Removal because the applicant's counsel significantly distorted the record in arguing the WCJ improperly denied temporary disability and compelled a deposition. The WCJ's order was merely to take the matters off calendar to allow for further medical record development, not a final decision. The Board found the petition lacked merit and failed to reference material evidence, leading to a notice of intention to impose sanctions on the applicant's attorney.
