LAZARO ZEPEDA PONCE vs. PINK TACO LOS ANGELES, LLP, AMGUARD INSURANCE COMPANY, GUARD INSURANCE

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the petition for reconsideration and denied the petition for removal filed by Starpoint Sx-Irvine. The WCAB found that the petitioner's challenge was to an interlocutory procedural order, not a final decision, thus it was not a proper subject for reconsideration. Furthermore, the WCAB determined that the petitioner failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm required for the extraordinary remedy of removal.
