ANTHONY DORSETT vs. DENVER BRONCOS, DALLAS COWBOYS

The Denver Broncos petitioned to remove a workers' compensation case, arguing a prior settlement (ADJ4142902) barred the current claim (ADJ7763837) under res judicata. However, the Board denied the petition because the defendant failed to produce evidence of the prior settlement during discovery, preventing them from proving their claim. Therefore, the administrative law judge correctly continued the case to a status conference. The Board affirmed the ALJ's decision, denying the defendant's petition for removal.
