CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Donald W. Stenerson's second petition for reconsideration. This dismissal occurred because Stenerson had previously filed a petition for reconsideration that was denied, and filing a second petition challenging the same original decision and the Board's prior denial is procedurally impermissible. Such successive petitions are barred, and the proper avenue for appeal after a denied petition is a writ of review. Additionally, the Board noted the petition was untimely.
