GLENWOOD BUSCHMAN vs. GARY D. DAVIS, INC., STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied the applicant's petitions to disqualify Administrative Law Judge (WCJ) Ferris. The applicant alleged bias and closed-door hearings, but the WCAB found no evidence to support these claims. The WCAB adopted the WCJ's report, which detailed the public nature of the hearings and the WCJ's good-faith efforts to develop the case record. The WCAB emphasized that the applicant failed to meet the legal requirements for disqualification.
