NIGERIA BUTLER vs. VORTECH ENGINEERING, MAJESTIC INSURANCE, STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed Nigeria Butler's petition for reconsideration. The Board found the WCJ's order, which directed liens to be "paid, adjusted or litigated," was not a final order. Because the order did not resolve substantive rights and liabilities, it was not subject to reconsideration under Labor Code section 5900.

GRACIELA CASTRO vs. SHADE HOTEL, FARMERS INSURANCE

This case was dismissed because the Applicant's Petition for Reconsideration was based on an interlocutory order, not a final decision on substantive rights or liabilities. The Board clarified that reconsideration is only permitted for final orders under Labor Code section 5900. As there was no order dismissing the Applicant's lien, the Applicant was not aggrieved by a final decision. Therefore, the Petition for Reconsideration was dismissed.

DENNIS BATES vs. SEROLOGICALS CORPORATION, UNITED STATES FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed a petition for reconsideration. The petition was filed against an order granting reconsideration, which is considered an interlocutory procedural order, not a final decision. California Labor Code Section 5900 requires reconsideration petitions to follow a final order. Therefore, the Board dismissed the petition as it was improperly filed.

MARIA REYES vs. WESTERN MEMORIAL SERVICE CORP., ZENITH WOODLAND HILLS

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration because it was filed from an interim discovery order, not a final decision, which is not subject to reconsideration under Labor Code § 5900. Even if considered a petition for removal or disqualification, the Board would deny it on the merits. Furthermore, the petition was dismissed for failure to include a required proof of service.

ELGA PEREZ vs. DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES-IN HOME SUPPORT SERVICES, YORK RISK SERVICES GROUP

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed Elga Perez's Petition for Reconsideration because it was filed from a Notice of Intention to Dismiss, not a final order disposing of substantive rights. Such a procedural notice is not considered a final order eligible for reconsideration under Labor Code section 5900. Additionally, the petition lacked the statutorily required verification. Therefore, the Board dismissed the petition.

VICTORIA ENRIQUEZ vs. COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA

The applicant sought reconsideration of the Appeals Board's prior decision that returned the case to the judge for further proceedings. The Board dismissed the applicant's petition because the prior decision was not a final order, as it did not determine any substantive rights or liabilities. Labor Code section 5900(a) only allows reconsideration of final orders. The applicant may petition for reconsideration after a final decision is issued by the judge.
