Summary

Applicant Ruth Pulido filed a petition for removal from an August 11, 2025 order taking her case off calendar, in which the WCJ deferred her request to make an election against a party under Labor Code section 5500.5. The WCJ issued the order deferring the election and ordering further development of the record without creating any record or explaining the need for further development. The WCAB found this violated the parties' due process rights, constituting irreparable harm justifying removal. The Board granted removal, rescinded the August 11, 2025 order, and returned the matter to the trial level to create an adequate record. The Board declined to rule on the propriety of the election itself, finding it could not do so absent a formal record.
