WEST GRIFFIN vs. HARBOR UCLA MEDICAL CENTER, TRISTAR RISK MANAGEMENT

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Tristar Risk Management's petition for removal, which sought to halt trial proceedings for the applicant's claim for home health care reimbursement. Tristar argued the trial was premature, preventing adequate discovery and the development of the evidentiary record concerning new statutes applicable to the claim. The Board found that removal is an extraordinary remedy not warranted here, as the applicant bears the burden of proof at trial and Tristar has remedies available if aggrieved by a post-trial decision. The Board also confirmed Tristar's petition was timely filed.

Vern Botts vs. Orange County Transportation Authority, Tristar Management

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the Petition for Removal filed by Orange County Transportation Authority and Tristar Management. The Board found that the trial judge was correctly ordered to conduct further proceedings to determine if the applicant could rebut the Diminished Future Earning Capacity (DFEC) adjustment, as required by the *Ogilvie III* decision. Defendant's arguments regarding prejudice from further evidence introduction and discovery closure were rejected as the trial judge's actions were in line with appellate directives and defendants had ample opportunity to address the issues. The Board adopted the judge's report, finding no basis for removal.

This case involves Elvira Anaya's workers' compensation claims against Grimmway Enterprises. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) has dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration filed by an applicant/defendant/lien claimant.

This failure to meet the statutory filing deadline under Labor Code section 5903 and Code of Civil Procedure section 1013 mandates the dismissal.
