Injury / body parts: multiple injuries (unspecified)

LC §5313CCR §10742

Summary

Applicant Ehab Guirguis, injured on January 3, 2021 while employed by Circle K/76 Gas Station, filed a Declaration of Readiness to Proceed (DOR) requesting an MSC. Defendant objected, arguing the DOR was defective because it failed to state with specificity any good faith efforts to resolve the dispute as required by WCAB Rule 10742(c), and that the DOR's discovery-completion declaration was left blank. On October 15, 2024, the WCJ set the matter for trial over defendant's objection without reviewing the DOR or objection. The WCJ's own Report acknowledged the failure to review the DOR and recommended the Board grant removal. The Board granted the Petition for Removal, rescinded the trial-setting order, and returned the matter to the trial level so a proper record could be made addressing the DOR objections and unresolved discovery issues.
