SYLVIA SANTOS vs. GUARD MANAGEMENT, INC., INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE WEST

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Sylvia Santos' Petition for Disqualification. This decision was based on the report of the administrative law judge, which the Board adopted and incorporated. The Board also refused to consider a document submitted by Santos as a "Reply to Report on Petition for Disqualification" because it did not comply with Board rules and would not have been accepted even if it had. Therefore, the petition for disqualification was denied.

SYLVIA SANTOS vs. GUARD MANAGEMENT, INC., INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE WEST

This case involves Sylvia Santos's petition for reconsideration after her request to disqualify the presiding workers' compensation judge was denied. The basis for her disqualification petition, and subsequently her reconsideration request, was her unsubstantiated allegation of ex parte communications between the judge and the opposing party. The Board denied reconsideration, finding that Santos failed to provide specific facts demonstrating actual bias or prejudice by the judge. Therefore, the matter will return to the trial calendar for further proceedings.
