ROBERT FLINT vs. CVC ENVIRONMENTAL, INC., STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied defendant CVC Environmental's petitions for removal and disqualification. The WCAB affirmed the administrative law judge's (ALJ) decision to bifurcate the issue of employment, finding good cause under WCAB Rule 10560. The defendant failed to provide any grounds for disqualification of the ALJ under Labor Code section 5311. Therefore, the case will proceed to a mandatory settlement conference solely on the issue of employment.
