The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of an award that found applicant Marty Snezek's heart injury was not work-related. The Board affirmed the Workers' Compensation Judge's reliance on defense QME Dr. Nishimura's reports, which cited non-industrial factors as the cause of the injury, over applicant's QME Dr. Anderson. This decision was made despite Dr. Nishimura initially noting a presumption for peace officers, which was later clarified by the Court of Appeal to exclude the applicant's role.
