MARK FREITAS vs. MC CAFFREY CONSTRUCTION &FRAMING INC., REDWOOD FIRE AND CASUALTY INSURANCE CO.

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) rescinded its prior decision in *Freitas v. McCaffrey Construction* due to a proposed settlement reached by the parties while the case was pending reconsideration. The matter has been returned to the trial level for the Workers' Compensation Judge (WCJ) to review the settlement. If the WCJ approves the settlement, the case will proceed accordingly; otherwise, the original decision may be reinstated. This order does not constitute a final decision on the merits of the issues originally under reconsideration.
