Based on our review of the record, and for the reasons stated in the WCJ’s report, which we adopt and incorporate, we will deny reconsideration. The WCJ properly relied upon the opinion of the agreed medical evaluator (AME), who the parties presumably chose because of the AME’s expertise and neutrality. The WCJ was presented with no good reason to find the AME’s opinion unpersuasive, and we also find none. (See Power v. Workers’ Comp. Appeals Bd. (1986) 179 Cal.App.3d 775, 782 [51 Cal.Comp.Cases 114].) , For the foregoing reasons, IT IS ORDERED that the Petitions for Reconsideration are DENIED.WORKERS’ COMPENSATION APPEALS BOARD/s/ DEIDRA E.
