Lien claimant Deco Interpreting, LLC, through its representative Cole Consulting San Jose, then filed a Petition for Removal and an amended lien on behalf of lien claimant. The Petition for Removal was denied and the Petition for Removal was dismissed as removal was not available at the time and reconsideration was an adequate remedy. The WCJ’s June 16, 2009 Order was justified and the Petition for Reconsideration was denied.
