CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed Gerardo Licea's Petition for Reconsideration due to untimeliness. The petition was filed more than 25 days after the WCJ's May 8, 2019 decision, exceeding the statutory filing deadline. California law requires petitions to be received by the WCAB within the time limit, not just mailed. This jurisdictional defect prevented the Board from considering the merits of the petition.
