Yanet Lopez — ADJ14242609

Applicant Yanet Lopez filed a Petition for Removal seeking review of a WCJ's interlocutory determination in her claim against United Growers Berry Farms, insured by Zenith Insurance Company. The Appeals Board considered the petition along with the WCJ's report on the merits. The Board found that the petitioner failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm that would result if removal were denied, and failed to show that reconsideration would be an inadequate remedy if a final adverse decision later issued. The Board denied the Petition for Removal, noting that either party could file a Declaration of Readiness to Proceed to bring the matter to trial.
