## HERMINIA LOPEZ-RODRIGUEZ, vs. JBS USA, SEDGWICK

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied a petition for removal in the case of Herminia Lopez-Rodriguez v. JBS USA. Removal is an extraordinary remedy, and the applicant failed to demonstrate that denying removal would result in substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. Furthermore, the applicant did not show that reconsideration would be an inadequate remedy if an adverse decision is ultimately issued. The WCAB adopted and incorporated the reasoning of the workers' compensation administrative law judge.
