FELIPE TOLENTINO vs. CONCO CEMENT, CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION, XCHANGING INC., FREMONT COMPENSATION

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration as premature. The WCAB granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration regarding the temporary disability overpayment issue, deferring it for further proceedings. The Board affirmed the WCJ's findings on injury causation and permanent disability but amended the decision to clarify the overpayment issue. Finally, the WCAB issued a notice of intention to sanction defendant's counsel for attaching and citing unadmitted evidence.

PEDRO M. RODRIGUEZ vs. RALPHS GROCERY COMPANY

The applicant sought reconsideration of a denial of workers' compensation benefits, which was based on the finding that his claims were filed after notice of termination. The Board affirmed the denial, concluding that the applicant's job abandonment led to a termination prior to the filing of his claims. The Board also determined that the employer properly denied both the specific and cumulative trauma claims, thus negating a presumption of compensability.

MEKAL FARUKI vs. MACY'S DEPARTMENT STORES

This case involves Mekal Faruki's petition for reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board decision. The Board dismissed the petition as untimely. Labor Code section 5903 establishes a strict 20-day deadline for filing reconsideration petitions, with a possible 5-day extension for mailing. Critically, the petition is considered filed upon receipt, not mailing date. Faruki's petition was filed over 25 days after the December 10, 2010 decision, rendering it jurisdictionally barred.

EDWARD MORSE vs. CONWAY WESTERN EXPRESS, INDEMNITY INSURANCE

This case concerns a clerical error in the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board's (WCAB) prior decision, specifically the date of service. The Board identified that the decision, served on December 6, 2015, should have reflected a service date of January 6, 2015. The WCAB has corrected this specific clerical error without requiring further proceedings, citing its authority to do so at any time. This correction amends the date of service to January 6, 2015, as reflected in the amended order.

KENNETH M. HOOVER vs. CITY OF POMONA

The Appeals Board granted reconsideration of the WCJ's award of 100% permanent total disability. The Board found that the WCJ's decision was not supported by substantial evidence, primarily due to deficiencies in Dr. Grodan's medical reporting regarding the applicant's skin and cardiovascular conditions. The matter was returned to the trial level for further development of the record and a new decision. The Board confirmed the application of the 1997 Permanent Disability Rating Schedule and the admission of Dr. Shirman's report.
