AUTO DEALERS COMPENSATION OF CALIFORNIA/MARIN LUXURY CARS LLC, Administered By INTERCARE INSURANCE SERVICES DONNA WESTLAKE WORKERS’ COMPENSATION APPEALS BOARDSTATE OF CALIFORNIADONNA WESTLAKE, Applicant,vs.AUTO DEALERS COMPENSATION OF CALIFORNIA/MARIN LUXURY CARS LLC, Administered By INTERCARE INSURANCE SERVICES, Defendant(s).Case No.ADJ7191675ORDER DENYINGPETITION FOR REMOVAL We have considered the allegations of the Petition for Removal and the contents of the report of the workers’ compensation administrative law judge (WCJ) with respect thereto. Based on our review of the record, and for the reasons stated in said report which we adopt and incorporate, we will deny removal. Removal is an extraordinary remedy which is rarely exercised by the Board absent a showing that substantial prejudice or irreparable injury will result if removal is not granted. (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 8, section 10843; Swedlow, Inc. v. Workers’ Comp. Appeals bd (Smith) (1985) 48 Cal.C’omp.Cases 476 (writ denied); Castro v. Workers’ Comp. Appeals Bd. (1996) 61 Cal.Comp.Case 1460. (writ denied); Bidmer v. Circle K Corp. (1986) SAL 93830. 14 Cal. Workers* Comp. Rptr. 160 (Board panel).) Based upon the foregoing, and our review of the record, we arc not persuaded that substantial prejudice or irreparable harm will result if removal is denied. Finally, we note that defendant did subsequently submit verification for its petition for removal. , For the foregoing reasons,IT IS ORDERED that said Petition for Removal is DENIED.WORKERS’COMPENSA TIONAPPEALS BOARD________________________________________FRANK M.
