GUADALUPE MEJIA vs. BARKER MANAGEMENT, INC., CALIFORNIA INSURANCE COMPANY, APPLIED RISK SERVICES

The applicant sought reconsideration of an Order Approving Compromise and Release, alleging fraud and denial of signing the agreement. The Board dismissed the petition for reconsideration because the applicant failed to properly serve the opposing party's counsel of record. However, the Board noted the applicant's allegations of fraud might constitute grounds for a petition to set aside the original order. Therefore, the Board recommended the trial judge treat the dismissed petition as a petition to set aside and schedule a hearing to develop the record.
