Summary

Applicant Antonio Huerta, a caregiver, sustained injury to multiple body parts during 2012 through February 2015. After a July 6, 2020 MSC, applicant attended a July 24, 2020 evaluation with treater Dr. Khalid Ahmed and listed the resulting report on an updated exhibit list. At trial, the WCJ excluded the July 24, 2020 report under Labor Code section 5502(d)(3), finding discovery had closed at the MSC and applicant had not requested to keep discovery open. The Board, treating applicant's challenge as a petition for removal because it disputed only an interlocutory evidentiary ruling, held the report should be admitted because it was indisputably unavailable at the time of the MSC (the appointment had not yet occurred). The Board rescinded the FA&O and returned the matter to the trial level.
