Allyson Carey — ADJ7470175

Applicant Allyson Carey, employed by the permissibly self-insured Conejo Valley Unified School District, filed a Petition for Reconsideration or, in the Alternative, Petition for Removal challenging a WCJ's decision. The WCJ's decision contained both a final finding on a threshold issue and an interlocutory finding/order, making it a 'hybrid' decision. The Board determined that because the petitioner only challenged an interlocutory finding, the removal standard applied rather than the reconsideration standard. Applying the removal standard, the Board found the petitioner failed to demonstrate significant prejudice or irreparable harm, and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy if an adverse final decision issued. The Board denied the petition treated as one seeking reconsideration.
