Summary

Applicant Alkashif Marshall, a former Uber driver claiming injuries from a December 6, 2016 auto accident, petitioned for reconsideration of a WCJ's October 2, 2024 Order granting his second attorney's (Law Offices of Scott Warmuth) Petition to be Relieved as counsel of record. The WCJ granted the petition without issuing a Notice of Intention (NIT), without holding an evidentiary hearing, and without admitting any testimony or exhibits into the record. The Appeals Board held the Order was an interlocutory, non-final order, so it dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration but treated it as a Petition for Removal. The Board granted removal, finding the WCJ violated applicant's due process rights by relieving counsel without an adequate record or opportunity to be heard, causing substantial prejudice that reconsideration could not cure. The Board rescinded the October 2, 2024 Order and returned the matter to the trial level for an evidentiary hearing and creation of a proper record.
