The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration of a prior decision.

Applicant vs. Defendant

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration. The dismissal was based on the applicant's failure to file proof of service with the petition, a mandatory procedural requirement. Even if the merits were considered, the WCAB would have denied the petition based on the Judge's report. The applicant had sought reconsideration of a denial for a Petition to Reopen and claimed new and further disability.

JANETT ORTEGA vs. CRC VIP, INC., UNINSURED EMPLOYER

This case involves a Petition for Removal filed by an applicant seeking to have the Appeals Board intervene in a pending workers' compensation matter.

CARLOS CACIQUE vs. METRO PAD & FUSING, OAK RIVER INSURANCE, SOUTHERN INSURANCE COMPANY

This case concerns a lien claim by California Imaging Solutions (CIS) for document copying services provided to the applicant's attorney. The original decision disallowed the lien, finding CIS was subject to professional photocopier registration requirements and lacked proof of compliance. CIS argued exemption under Business & Professions Code section 22451(b) as an agent or independent contractor of the attorney. The Appeals Board rescinded the original decision and returned the case for further development of the record to determine if CIS qualifies for the exemption. The stipulated reasonable value of CIS's services is $1,000.
