This case involves Applicant Juan Garcia seeking reconsideration of his workers' compensation claim's dismissal for failure to prosecute. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to allow Applicant an opportunity to show good cause why the dismissal should not be affirmed. The Applicant claims he was denied due process because his attorneys allegedly did not receive the Notice of Intention to Dismiss or the defendant's Petitions for Dismissal. The Board, however, presumes proper mailing and is giving Applicant's counsel a 30-day window to present a verified response demonstrating good cause.
