RICARDO MUNOZ PADILLA vs. CISCO BROTHERS, INC. (A CORP), REDWOOD FIRD AND CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY, BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HOMESTATE COMPANIES

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration because the WCJ's order compelling attendance at a deposition was not a final order. However, the WCAB granted the applicant's Petition for Removal, finding that the applicant was denied due process by not having an opportunity to be heard before the order was issued. The WCAB rescinded the original order and returned the matter to the trial level for reconsideration of the deposition issue.
