CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a worker's compensation claim where the Applicant, Tito Felix, filed a petition for reconsideration. The Appeals Board dismissed this petition because it was deemed "successive." Established legal precedent dictates that a party cannot file a second petition for reconsideration if their first one was unsuccessful, unless new evidence was introduced that rendered them "newly aggrieved." In this instance, the petition raised the same arguments as a prior, denied petition, and no new evidence was presented. Therefore, the petition was dismissed without prejudice as it violated established procedural rules.
