MARIA JIMENEZ vs. IHG RESOURCES, INC., ZURICH NORTH AMERICA

This case involves a petition for removal filed by applicant Maria Jimenez regarding the calendaring of hearings. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied the petition, finding that the Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC) has discretion in providing office quarters and scheduling hearings based on budgetary and space limitations. The WCAB can calendar hearings at different offices due to resource constraints, even if venue is established elsewhere. Therefore, the petition for removal was denied as per the administrative law judge's report.
