The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted Gerald Miller's petition for reconsideration of an earlier award. The Board found the original judge did not adequately address the affirmative defense of good faith personnel actions regarding Miller's psychiatric injury claim. Therefore, the case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings to clarify whether the alleged personnel actions were lawful and in good faith and if they substantially caused Miller's injury. This amendment defers the determination of the psyche injury claim pending this further review.
