Rincon, Veronica

Applicant Veronica Rincon, in pro per, sought reconsideration of a December 22, 2023 Findings and Order that found injury AOE/COE to her bilateral wrists (carpal and cubital tunnel syndromes), with continuing claims to psyche, left shoulder, and neck, and that ordered her to attend a re-evaluation with AME Ronald Fujimoto, D.O. Rincon objected to attending the re-evaluation, contending Dr. Fujimoto made her feel unsafe and had hurt her physically and mentally. Although the F&O resolved a threshold injury issue (a final order), the applicant only challenged the interlocutory order compelling re-evaluation, so the Board treated the petition under the removal standard. The Board found no showing of significant prejudice or irreparable harm and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy if a later adverse final decision issued. The petition was denied.
