CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted the defendant's Petition for Removal, rescinding the prior order setting the case for trial. The Board found it premature to adjudicate permanent disability and apportionment issues, as the applicant recently underwent an above-the-knee amputation. The applicant's complex medical history and the recent surgery indicate he has not yet reached maximum medical improvement. The case is ordered off calendar until the applicant's condition stabilizes or an unrelated issue arises.
