East Bay Municipal Utility, District; Athens Administrators Stephen Carbonaro WORKERS’ COMPENSATION APPEALS BOARDSTATE OF CALIFORNIASTEPHEN CARBONARO, Applicant,vs.EAST BAY MUNICIPAL UTILITY, DISTRICT;ATHENS ADMINISTRATORS, Defendants.Case Nos. ADJ6743571ADJ7493283(Oakland District Office)ORDER DENYING PETITION 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. With regard to defendant’s contention that it was deprived of an opportunity to respond to applicant’s Petition for Consolidation, we note that defendant’s Petition for Removal was its opportunity to respond. After careful review of defendant’s contentions, we do not believe that defendant has demonstrated that it will suffer significant prejudice or irreparable harm, as required by WCAB Rule 10843, if these case are consolidated or that the PWCJ has abused his “sound discretion” required by WCAB Rule 10589(a).////////////////// , For the foregoing reasons, IT IS ORDERED that said Petition for Removal is DENIED.WORKERS’ COMPENSATION APPEALS BOARD_________________________________________ALFONSO J.
