Here's a summary of the case for a lawyer in four sentences:
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for removal, upholding the Administrative Law Judge's (ALJ) prior order. Removal is an extraordinary remedy requiring a showing of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, which the applicant failed to demonstrate. The applicant also failed to serve a crucial party, Dr. Glaser, with the petition, violating due process. Furthermore, the applicant's claim of an absolute right to be present at a deposition was not supported by statutory law, which allows for protective orders to prevent annoyance or oppression.
