MARTIN GARCIA vs. TRIANGLE BRASS MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC., STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND, CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION

This case concerns lien claimant RS Medical's petition for reconsideration after their lien was dismissed for non-appearance at a lien conference. RS Medical argued the conference was improperly scheduled as the underlying claim was unresolved, despite claims otherwise in a Declaration of Readiness. The Board granted reconsideration, rescinding the dismissal order, adopting the judge's recommendation that dismissal was improper under these circumstances. This decision acknowledges RS Medical's procedural arguments and the judge's report finding the dismissal unfair.
