JUAN SIGALA vs. FST MANAGEMENT GROUP, LLC; TRAVELERS

The applicant, Juan Sigala, filed a petition for removal challenging an order that set the case for a priority conference, arguing that discovery was incomplete. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board, after reviewing the petition and the WCJ's recommendation to deny removal, found that the applicant failed to demonstrate the substantial prejudice or irreparable harm required for such an extraordinary remedy. The Board emphasized that a priority conference serves to monitor discovery progress and does not warrant removal. Consequently, the Board denied the petition for removal.

JUAN PAZ vs. CONCORDE BATTERY CORPORATION, ALASKA NATIONAL

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of a decision finding no injury arising out of and occurring in the course of employment for Juan Paz. Paz claimed injury to his low back and psyche, but the judge found his testimony not credible and noted he did not report pain or seek medical treatment for his back during employment. Medical records indicated a spinal condition, but not necessarily an industrial injury, and the applicant's medical opinions were found conclusory and unsupported by the facts. The Board adopted the judge's report, emphasizing the great weight given to credibility findings.
