ROBERT MACKAY vs. CITY OF VALLEJO, Permissibly Self-Insured, Administered by YORK RISK SERVICES GROUP, INC.

This case involved the City of Vallejo's petition for reconsideration of an order closing discovery. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the petition, finding the order was not a final, appealable decision. Treating the petition as one for removal, the Board denied it, citing the defendant's failure to show prejudice or irreparable harm, and their dilatory actions regarding discovery. The defendant was admonished against future delaying tactics.
