CompFox AI Summary
Applicant Sasha Olivera sought reconsideration of a December 27, 2024 Order of Dismissal of Case, which dismissed her claim without prejudice due to alleged lack of prosecution. Her attorney explained that he had lost contact with Olivera but had since re-established communication, asserting she was ready to proceed. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board found the Workers' Compensation Administrative Law Judge's notice of intent to dismiss and the subsequent dismissal order were premature, as the earliest date for dismissal under WCAB Rule 10550(a) was August 21, 2025. Consequently, the Board granted the Petition for Reconsideration, rescinded the dismissal order, and returned the matter to the trial level for further proceedings.
