CompFox AI Summary
This case involves Rosanne Abnet's second attempt to appeal the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board's (WCAB) denial of her reconsideration. Her latest filing, treated as a petition for reconsideration, is dismissed because it was filed untimely, exceeding the statutory 20-day limit plus mailing extension. Furthermore, the petition is dismissed as successive, as an applicant cannot file a second reconsideration petition after the WCAB has already ruled on a prior one. The proper avenue for further appeal would have been a writ of review.
