Domingo Mogo vs. Cardenas Markets Inc

This case is about Domingo Mogo, an applicant, and Cardenas Markets Inc., the defendant. The lien claimant, True Scan Legal Copy Service, filed a petition for reconsideration of defense counsel Tobin and Lucks's "Bill of Particulars and request for $4,410.00 in defense costs and expenses." The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the petition because the Bill of Particulars does not constitute a final order which is subject to reconsideration. The Board also noted that the lien claimant had already objected to the Bill of Particulars and that the WCJ should consider the objection when the case is returned to the trial level.
