Applicant sought removal of a Minutes of Hearing and Order Taking Off Calendar (OTOC) issued by a WCJ on April 13, 2023. The WCJ had ordered the matter off calendar due to no pending issues, defendant's lack of counsel, and an improper declaration of readiness to proceed. Applicant contended errors leading to an unjust outcome, including issues with permanent disability payments, medical co-payments, a lien, and allegations against a prior attorney, and presented a QME report from Dr. David. Defendant did not file an answer to the petition for removal, and the WCJ recommended dismissal as untimely and without merit. The Appeals Board dismissed the petition, concurring it was untimely filed more than 25 days after the OTOC, and would have denied it on merits as applicant failed to show substantial prejudice or irreparable harm.
