Carrillo, Luisa

Luisa Carrillo, a food worker for Fresno Foods, LLC, sustained a specific injury on September 26, 2022 when she fell at work. Her PTP report was authored by nurse practitioner Beltran without a supervising physician's signature. Defendant objected to the PTP report under Labor Code sections 4061 and 4062 and obtained an orthopedic QME panel. Applicant filed a Petition for Removal challenging the WCJ's findings that the nurse practitioner's report was a valid PTP report and that defendant's objection letter validly triggered the panel process. The Board treated the petition as one for reconsideration because the F&O resolved threshold issues (employment), but applied the removal standard since applicant challenged only interlocutory findings, and denied relief because applicant failed to demonstrate significant prejudice or irreparable harm.
