The case involves a Petition for Reconsideration filed by the defendant after an Order Approving a Compromise and Release (OACR) was executed and later amended by a Workers' Compensation Administrative Law Judge (WCJ). The WCJ rescinded the original OACR and issued an amended one within the 15-day period allowed by WCAB Rule 10961(c). Consequently, the Appeals Board determined that no further action was necessary on the Petition for Reconsideration because the disputed order no longer existed. Despite the WCJ preparing a Report and Recommendation, the Appeals Board dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration as moot.
