CompFox AI Summary
Lien claimant Mesa Pharmacy's petition for removal was granted because the WCJ erred in continuing the lien trial to notify the anti-fraud unit (AFU), as this violated due process and the AFU lacked standing. The Appeals Board rescinded the WCJ's order, finding that documents now available on the DIR website likely obviate the need for AFU involvement. The matter was taken off calendar to allow parties to review these documents, with a new hearing to be scheduled if a dispute regarding Labor Code section 4615 remains.
