CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's Petition for Removal concerning orders closing discovery and setting cases for trial. The Board adopted the WCJ's report, finding the defendant failed to demonstrate the necessary prejudice or irreparable harm for removal. The defendant's alternative request for reconsideration was also denied as the orders were not final and therefore not subject to reconsideration. The case is returned to the trial level for a new trial date.
