Luviano, Rosas, Perla

Applicant Perla Luviano Rosas filed a petition for removal challenging the WCJ's July 3, 2025 order setting the matter for trial, arguing that discovery was not yet complete. The defendant filed an answer (which improperly included attachments in violation of WCAB Rule 10945(c)), and the WCJ filed a Report recommending denial. The Appeals Board denied removal, finding that applicant failed to show substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy if a final adverse decision later issued. The Board noted that at trial the parties would have the opportunity to create a record, raise all relevant issues, and argue whether further development of the record is appropriate.
