DEMETRIO GARCIA MUNOZ vs. EL CENTRO REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER, TRISTAR RISK MANAGEMENT

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied the defendant's Petition for Removal in the case of *Munoz v. El Centro Regional Medical Center*. Removal is an extraordinary remedy only granted if substantial prejudice or irreparable harm will occur and reconsideration will be an inadequate remedy. The WCAB found the defendant did not meet this high standard based on the Administrative Law Judge's analysis. Therefore, the petition was denied, and the matter will proceed in the normal course.
