Summary

Applicant's attorney John R. Ramirez filed a Petition for Reconsideration objecting to a WCJ's order taking off calendar a hearing on Labor Code section 5710 deposition attorney's fees. The WCJ had ordered defendant to pay $1,480.00 of the requested $1,572.50, leaving a $92.50 dispute, and took the fee trial off calendar over Ramirez's objection. The Appeals Board dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration because the order taking the matter off calendar was a non-final, interlocutory order from which reconsideration does not lie. Treating the petition as one for removal, the Board denied removal because Ramirez failed to demonstrate irreparable harm, significant prejudice, or that reconsideration would be an inadequate remedy, finding that judicial economy favored trying the small fee dispute alongside the case in chief. The Board admonished Ramirez for the third time for improperly filing reconsideration petitions from non-final orders and warned of potential sanctions.
