Here's a summary of the case for a lawyer in four sentences:
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied a Petition for Removal filed by J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc. (Chartis) against Jose L. Macias. The employer sought removal, arguing the Administrative Law Judge (WCJ) violated their due process by setting the case for trial before completing discovery. The Board adopted the WCJ's report, finding removal to be an extraordinary remedy not warranted here as no substantial prejudice or irreparable harm was shown. The WCJ noted the employer's delay in pursuing discovery and failure to object to the applicant's readiness to proceed, deferring discovery rulings to the trial judge.
