Jorge Nava — ADJ10608420, ADJ10608421

Zenith Insurance Company sought removal or, alternatively, reconsideration of a November 18, 2020 minute order in which the WCJ resubmitted the consolidated cases but allowed a supplemental report if generated within 30 days. Before the petition was filed, the WCJ issued a December 1, 2020 'Order Vacating Submission and Referral to the Disability Evaluation Unit,' which rendered the challenged minute order moot. The Board treated the petition as one for removal because the Order and Referral to DEU did not resolve any threshold issue. The Board found defendant failed to show irreparable harm, since the case remained unsubmitted and the WCJ had not acted on any DEU rating. The Board dismissed reconsideration and denied removal, while noting potential Hamilton concerns regarding the WCJ's unexplained 'good cause' finding.
