CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed Lavita N. Oliver's petition for reconsideration as untimely. The petition was filed over 25 days after the WCJ's decision on June 1, 2007, exceeding the 20-day statutory limit (plus potential mailing extensions). Because the filing deadline is jurisdictional, the Board lacked the authority to consider the petition on its merits, which they would have denied anyway.
