CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Marciano Cornejo's Petition for Reconsideration because it was filed on May 9, 2016, which was untimely. The WCJ's decision was served by mail on July 30, 2014, and the statutory 25-day filing period had expired. Timeliness is a jurisdictional requirement, meaning the WCAB lacked the authority to consider the petition. Even if timely, the petition would have been denied on the merits based on the WCJ's report.
