CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the State Compensation Insurance Fund's (SCIF) petition for reconsideration. SCIF sought to overturn a prior decision that reduced sanctions against Dr. Silver and Mr. Escamilla and denied SCIF attorney's fees. SCIF argued its own actions were trivial compared to the opposing party's conduct. However, the Board found, as in its previous decision, that SCIF contributed to the case's confusion and unnecessary delay, thus denying its petition.
