The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) vacated its prior order granting reconsideration and dismissed the applicant's petition. The dismissal was based on the applicant's petition for reconsideration being untimely, as the only filed petition was received by the WCAB on August 14, 2006, well after the deadline. Evidence, including proof of service and attorney declarations, confirmed that a timely objection to the original dismissal was not filed with the WCAB, divesting it of jurisdiction.
