What the panel ordered
Petition for reconsideration/removal denied
Petition for reconsideration/removal denied based on WCJ's report and Appeals Board review
What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
The Appeals Board found the WCJ's analysis persuasive and determined that the petitioner did not demonstrate significant prejudice or irreparable harm to warrant removal, and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy.
From the decision · page 1We have considered the allegations of the Petition for Removal and the contents of the report of the workers' compensation administrative law judge (WCJ) with respect thereto. Based on our review of the record, and based upon the WCJ's analysis of the merits of the petitioner's arguments in the WCJ's report, we will deny the Petition as one seeking reconsideration.
The facts that decided it
