CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied a lien claimant's petition to disqualify a judge because the lien was resolved and the claimant was no longer a party. The claimant had previously withdrawn their lien, acknowledging it was resolved and that they were dismissed from the case. This resolution rendered the disqualification petition moot, especially after prior appeals and sanctions against the lien claimant were finalized. The WCAB admonished the lien claimant to avoid wasting board resources in the future.
