Jose Ramirez Cardenas — ADJ9380781, ADJ9127070

Lien Claimant Citywide Scanning Service, Inc., a copy service provider, petitioned for reconsideration of an April 19, 2022 WCJ decision that found Citywide failed to prove its services were valid medical-legal costs and ordered it to take nothing on its lien. The WCJ allegedly erred by excluding Citywide's exhibits and by failing to find a contested claim existed at the time services were rendered. The WCAB granted reconsideration to study the issues and referred the parties to a commissioners' settlement conference. The parties subsequently entered a fully executed stipulation on November 2, 2022, settling the lien (with an outstanding balance of $7,222.97 including penalty and interest under Labor Code section 4622(a)(1)) for $2,000.00 new money as full and final satisfaction. The WCAB rescinded the WCJ's take-nothing order and approved the stipulation.
