SUMMARY: In this case, the defendant sought reconsideration of a workers’ compensation administrative law judge’s (WCJ) Findings and Award of April 13, 2010, wherein it was found that, while employed as a maintenance worker/custodian on November 22, 2006, applicant sustained admitted industrial injury to the right knee, causing permanent disability of 19%. The defendant argued that the WCJ should have found 75% of the applicant’s permanent disability apportionable to nonindustrial factors. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the Findings and Award of April 13, 2010, and returned the matter to the trial level so that the WCJ may issue a final decision incorporating the opinion of the
This case involves a dispute between Kimberly Landi, an applicant, and Antelope Valley Hospital and Intercare Insurance Services, the defendant. The Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant’s petition for reconsideration and rescinded the April 13, 2010 Findings and Award issued by a workers’ compensation administrative law judge (WCJ). The WCJ had found that the applicant sustained industrial injury to her back, left knee, lower extremities, neurologic system and psyche while employed on March 19, 2001 as a registered nurse. The WCJ further found that applicant’s injury caused permanent total disability (100 percent) and a need for further medical treatment. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration due to the WCJ’s failure to provide sufficient explanation in the
In this case, Alesia Butler sought reconsideration of an Opinion and Order Dismissing Removal, Granting Reconsideration and Decision After Reconsideration issued on April 23, 2010. The WCJ had rescinded the July 5, 2007 Order of Dismissal, but the Appeals Board found that the WCJ’s January 27, 2010 decision was void ab initio and that Butler could not proceed with her petition to reopen filed more than five years after the date of injury. The Appeals Board denied Butler’s petition for reconsideration, noting that she had failed to timely seek reconsideration after her case was dismissed and that she had failed to notify the WCAB of any address change.

is a case in which Michael Leboy is appealing a decision made by the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board.

(Borman) (2013) 218 Cal.App.4th 1137 [78 Cal.Comp.Cases 751]. The Board ordered that the Petition for Reconsideration be denied.
is a case in which Arnold Sayles, the applicant, sought removal via two separate Petitions for Removal in response to two actions taken by the workers’ compensation administrative law judge (WCJ). The first Petition for Removal was in response to the WCJ’s Order Denying Petition for Change of Venue, and the second Petition for Removal was in response to the WCJ closing discovery at the September 26, 2016 Mandatory Settlement Conference (MSC). The Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the first Petition for Removal as moot and denied the second Petition for Removal, finding that the applicant had not demonstrated that substantial prejudice or irreparable harm would result if removal was not granted and that reconsideration would not be an adequate remedy if a final decision adverse to the
