CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the judge's order vacating dismissal, and reinstated the original dismissal of the applicant's workers' compensation claim. The Board found no good cause to reopen the dismissed claim, as the applicant failed to seek timely reconsideration and his concerns about retaliatory termination were unrelated to the original injury. However, the applicant may still pursue his separate Labor Code section 132a discrimination claim.
