CompFox AI Summary
Applicant claimed a psyche injury from his employment as a deputy sheriff, alleging multiple events including witnessing a civilian suicide. The WCJ ordered defendant to produce dashboard camera footage of the suicide after applicant complied with Public Records Act (PRA) procedures, and allowed applicant to then inform the QME of the video's contents. Defendant sought removal, arguing the order bypasses the PRA's requirement for agencies to determine record disclosability and causes irreparable harm. The WCAB granted removal, rescinded the order, and returned the matter for the WCJ to ensure proper PRA procedures are followed, allowing proper determination of record disclosability before release.
