The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied the applicant's first petition for reconsideration, finding that he failed to prove an industrial injury by a preponderance of the evidence. The WCAB adopted the WCJ's report, which properly relied on the agreed medical evaluator's opinion. The second petition for reconsideration was dismissed as untimely or as a supplemental pleading. Because an industrial injury is a prerequisite for penalties under Labor Code sections 132a and 4553, the applicant's claims were also defeated.
