The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied Mulji Patel's petition for removal. The WCAB found that the petition was procedurally deficient as it lacked proof of service and failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. Additionally, the WCAB determined that applicant's incarceration prevented him from pursuing reimbursement for self-procured medical treatment, and no order existed compelling defendant to pay the disputed lien. Finally, the disqualification of defendant's counsel was deemed premature and unsupported by applicable law under these circumstances.
