The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied the applicant's petition for removal and disqualification of the administrative law judge (WCJ). Removal is an extraordinary remedy granted only upon showing substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, which the applicant failed to demonstrate. Furthermore, the petition for disqualification lacked specific factual allegations under penalty of perjury, rendering it insufficient to warrant disqualification of the WCJ. Therefore, the WCAB concluded that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy and denied both aspects of the petition.
