Summary

Following the work-related death of Donald Marsau on December 4, 2021, applications for adjudication and a death claim were filed at the Sacramento District Office on behalf of decedent and his dependents. Defendant filed a Petition for Disqualification seeking to disqualify all WCJs at both the Sacramento and Stockton District Offices, along with a request to transfer venue. A three-member WCAB panel denied the Petition, holding that Labor Code section 5311 permits objection only to a 'particular' WCJ, not blanket disqualification of multiple judges. The Board also declined to address venue transfer, noting it must first be presented to the Presiding WCJ. The matter was returned to the WCJ for further proceedings.
