CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration because it was untimely, filed 35 days after the WCJ's order instead of within the 20-day limit. The petition was also unverified, a defect applicant failed to correct after the WCJ noted it. Furthermore, the petition violated WCAB rules by attaching previously filed documents and using a font size smaller than 12 points. Even if considered on the merits, the WCAB would have denied it, agreeing the original case dismissal for lack of prosecution was proper.
