CompFox AI Summary
This case involves the County of Sacramento's attempt to overturn an order striking their chosen Qualified Medical Examiner (PQME) and a consulting physician. The defendant argued this order caused irreparable harm and that the applicant waived objections by delaying their request. The Appeals Board dismissed the reconsideration petition as untimely because the order wasn't final, but granted removal and rescinded the WCJ's order. The majority found the applicant's objections lacked merit and that denying removal would cause prejudice, while a dissenting opinion argued the defendant failed to comply with procedural rules regarding document submission to the PQME.
