CLVIRA MORENO vs. HMN; STAR INSURANCE COMPANY, administered by MEADOWBROOK INSURANCE GROUP

This case concerns a Petition for Removal filed by the applicant in a workers' compensation claim. The applicant sought removal because the Workers' Compensation Judge (WCJ) allegedly erred in setting the case for trial despite the need for further medical discovery. The Appeals Board denied the petition, finding no substantial prejudice or irreparable harm to the applicant, and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy. The Board also cautioned parties against altering Minutes of Hearing without consulting the WCJ.
