CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's Petition for Removal because it was untimely and unverified, violating WCAB Rules 10843(a) and 10844. The petition sought to rescind an order that took the case off calendar without ruling on the applicant's issues regarding an agreed medical evaluator's payment and a benefit printout. The Board adopted the judge's report and recommendation, finding the petition procedurally deficient. One commissioner dissented, arguing the judge should have ordered the benefit printout and payment of the AME's bill.
