, APPLICANT, vs. , FORB DEVELOPMENT COMPANY; STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND,

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied a petition for reconsideration in the case of Alex Campos v. Forb Development Company. The WCAB adopted the findings of the workers' compensation administrative law judge (WCJ), giving great weight to the WCJ's credibility determinations. The WCAB also admonished the applicant's attorney for impugning the WCJ's integrity with inappropriate language in the petition. The petition for reconsideration was denied, and sanctions were threatened for future violations.

MARY CAMPOS vs. SECURITAS SECURITY SERVICES

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Mary Campos's Petition for Removal. Removal is an extraordinary remedy granted only upon a showing of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, which was not demonstrated here. The Board adopted the WCJ's report in finding that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy if an adverse decision ultimately issues. Therefore, the petition was denied.

FRANCISCO CAMPOS vs. MOYA FARM LABOR, STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of an award finding a $2\%$ permanent disability rating for an orange picker injured in 2004. The Board held that the revised rating schedule applied as there was no pre-January 1, 2005 medical report indicating permanent disability, and the parties stipulated to temporary disability payments which negated the notice exception. The Board relied on the published appellate decision in *Costco Wholesale Corp. v. Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (Chavez)*.

MATTY CAMPOS vs. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, SEDGWICK CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration of a prior decision. This action was taken due to statutory time constraints and the need for a more thorough review of the factual and legal issues. The WCAB requires further study of the record to ensure a just and reasoned decision. All future filings are to be submitted in writing directly to the WCAB Commissioners' office.

AARON VILLEGAS vs. CAMPOS TACOS, NATIONAL LIABILITY & FIRE INSURANCE CO.

This case involves a lien claim by an interpreter for services rendered to an applicant who ultimately was found not to be an employee. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and reversed a prior order disallowing the lien. The WCAB determined that interpreter fees incurred for services at WCAB conferences and hearings are allowable costs under Labor Code section 5811(b), regardless of employee status. However, fees for interpretation at medical or medical-legal appointments were affirmed as not allowable.

RICARDO MORAN-FLORES vs. ALEX STAVROPOULOS, dba THE GREEK MATTRESS WAREHOUSE, GOLDEN EAGLE INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed an Arbitrator's decision that the employer's workers' compensation policy was effectively cancelled on April 25, 2000, prior to the applicant's October 21, 2000 injury. The Board found that the insurer provided proper notice of cancellation for non-reporting of payroll, and the employer failed to present evidence rebutting receipt of this notice. Therefore, the policy was deemed terminated before the employee's injury.

LEONARD CAMPOS (deceased) vs. REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Permissibly Self-Insured, Administered by SEDGWICK CMS, INC.

This case involves a dispute over a lien for medical-legal expenses filed by Dr. Goldfield. The applicant's attorneys seek reconsideration of an award approving a stipulation between the lien claimant and the defendant, arguing it improperly transfers liability for the lien to them. The Appeals Board dismissed the petition, finding the applicant's attorneys are not aggrieved parties because the stipulation only resolved the defendant's liability and did not impose any new obligations on counsel. The Board clarified that Dr. Goldfield's claim against the applicant's counsel for the remaining balance of the lien can still be litigated before the WCJ.

JOAN MARASON vs. QUALITY COMP. INC.; ATHENS ADMINISTRATORS

Lien claimant representative Alex Kauffman sought reconsideration of a WCJ's Findings and Order (F&O) which imposed monetary sanctions for disruptive and unprofessional conduct during a lien conference. Kauffman contended the F&O lacked adequate basis and did not reflect a review of the entire record. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the F&O, and returned the matter to the trial level for further proceedings. This decision was based on concerns that a reasonable person might doubt the WCJ's impartiality given the WCJ was a potential witness to the events leading to the sanctions.
