Michael Perry — ADJ11075823, ADJ11130118, ADJ11703310

Applicant Michael Perry, in pro per and previously declared a vexatious litigant, filed six petitions seeking reconsideration, removal, and disqualification of the WCJ following a July 8, 2022 First Amended Joint Findings of Fact & Orders. The disputed rulings included striking undisclosed exhibits (audio recordings on a flash drive), denying applicant's request to reinstate a withdrawn Labor Code § 132a discrimination claim, and denying his Labor Code § 4553 serious and willful misconduct petition. Applicant had withdrawn his § 132a claim in 2019 believing he could litigate discrimination in federal court, but his subsequent federal lawsuit was dismissed as time-barred. The WCAB adopted the WCJ's report, finding the exhibits were properly stricken for non-disclosure, the § 132a reinstatement was barred by applicant's own legal misjudgment, the § 4553 allegations had no merit, and the disqualification petitions lacked specific verified facts establishing bias. All petitions were denied.
