Summary

Applicant Jose Luis Cruz (aka Ricardo Gutierrez) sought reconsideration of a WCJ's March 8, 2022 Order Granting Change of Venue, contending he was denied due process when the WCJ granted defendant's petition to change venue. The Appeals Board determined that an order granting a change of venue is an interlocutory, non-final order that does not determine any substantive right or threshold issue, and therefore cannot be challenged by reconsideration. The Board dismissed the petition for reconsideration and instead treated it as a petition for removal. Applying the removal standard, the Board found no substantial prejudice or irreparable harm would result, noting applicant retains the option to file his own petition for change of venue under Labor Code section 5501.6. Removal was denied.
