MARK MEDINA, Deceased, DIANA HERNANDEZ, Guardian ad Litem vs. KWK TRUCKING, INC., TRAVELERS PROPERTY CASUALTY COMPANY OF AMERICA

The defendant, KWK Trucking, Inc., sought removal, alleging denial of due process due to improper service and insufficient time to prepare for a mandatory settlement conference. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the petition as moot. This was because the trial, which the defendant sought to vacate, had already proceeded with both parties represented by counsel. The Board found the defendant's participation in the subsequent proceedings rendered their objections to the initial scheduling moot.
