CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Jocelyn Johnson's petition for reconsideration of a prior decision that found no fraud in the procurement of earlier findings and awards. Johnson alleged an incorrect injury date, insufficient medical evaluation, and denial of due process. The Board found that Johnson failed to demonstrate extrinsic fraud, as the issues raised could and should have been litigated in prior proceedings or appeals. Therefore, good cause did not exist to reopen the 1996 and 2002 findings and awards.
