ROSA MUNOZ, ROSA WILLIAMS MUNOZ vs. STATE OF CALIFORNIA, COURT-CALIFORNIA SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT FACILITY, STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND/STATE CONTRACT SERVICES

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the Defendant's Petition for Reconsideration, upholding the original decision. The Defendant's claim that the arousal disorder was not supported by medical evidence was rejected because the parties had previously stipulated to this injury AOE/COE. The Board found no good cause to set aside the stipulation, especially since no objections were raised at trial or after the Minutes of Hearing were served. The Board also noted that the Defendant's reply brief was not considered as it was submitted without permission.
