Casillas, Raymond

Raymond S. Casillas, an applicant with multiple consolidated claims against the City of Huntington Beach Fire Department, sought removal of an interlocutory matter before the WCAB. The Appeals Board considered the Petition for Removal alongside the WCJ's report addressing the merits of petitioner's arguments. Applying the standard that removal is an extraordinary remedy, the Board found that petitioner failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy if a final adverse decision later issued. The Board denied the Petition for Removal.
