Michael Bogdovitz — ADJ7976799

Applicant Michael Bogdovitz filed a Petition for Removal challenging a determination reflected in the June 20, 2022 minutes of hearing in his workers' compensation case against B & E Feed and Supply, insured by Applied Risk. The Board reviewed the petition along with the WCJ's report and analysis. Applying the standard that removal is an extraordinary remedy, the Board found that the petitioner failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, or that reconsideration would be an inadequate remedy. The Board noted that applicant would have the opportunity at trial to raise all relevant issues, including the preliminary issue of whether further discovery is appropriate. The Petition for Removal was denied.
