Pending a Decision After Reconsideration, the trial judge cannot act on any proposed settlement.

ESTELA WALLE vs. THE PERMANENTE MEDICAL GROUP

Here's a summary of the two cases for a lawyer, in max four sentences each: **Case 1: Estela Walle vs. The Permanente Medical Group (ADJ10477247)** The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration, affirming the WCJ's finding that the applicant did not sustain a back injury arising out of and in the course of employment. The Board gave significant weight to the WCJ's credibility determination, finding no substantial evidence to warrant overturning it. Therefore, the applicant was awarded nothing on her claim. **Case 2: Estela Walle vs. The Permanente Medical Group (ADJ8620015, ADJ9183471)** The Appeals Board rescinded the WCJ's award for psychiatric injury and returned the case to the trial level for further proceedings. The Board found the analysis of whether the injury was predominantly caused by employment events, and specifically by lawful, good faith personnel actions, to be inadequate under *Rolda*. Further development of the record is required to clarify the events of May 21, 2012, and to determine the precise causal contribution of employment-related factors versus good faith personnel actions.
