JOSEPH DeLAMIELLEURE vs. BALTIMORE RAVENS/CLEVELAND BROWNS, BUFFALO BILLS

This case was remanded to the trial level for reconsideration of the exclusion of evidence concerning the applicability of Labor Code section 3500.5(b). Defendant sought to exempt itself from California workers' compensation coverage for the applicant's temporary employment in the state. The Appeals Board's en banc decision in *Carroll v. Cincinnati Bengals* established precedent regarding this exemption, requiring specific conditions to be met by both the employee and employer. The case is returned for the WCJ to evaluate the evidence and arguments in light of the *Carroll* ruling.
