ROBERT BOUQUET, vs. FARBOTECH COLOR INCORPORATED, et al., INK SYSTEMS, INC., et al.

The Appeals Board granted reconsideration for CIGA (ADJ 3758765) and National Fire Insurance (ADJ 977794) due to errors in the Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) decisions. In ADJ 3758765, the WCJ's decision improperly included Legion Insurance and omitted necessary caption corrections, necessitating a new decision. In ADJ 977794, the WCJ failed to rule on National's credit claim, erroneously calculated applicant's earnings, and required caption adjustments. Both cases are returned to the trial level for further proceedings and revised decisions by the WCJ.

Seelig v. Sielaff

The Supreme Court, New York County, initially issued a judgment enjoining respondents from releasing the social security numbers of correction officers without their consent and ordered the implementation of privacy safeguards. This judgment was subsequently reversed on appeal, vacated, and the proceeding was converted to one for a declaratory judgment. The appellate court declared that the release of correction officers' social security numbers by the respondents, in response to a Public Officers Law § 87 request, constituted an unwarranted invasion of privacy under Public Officers Law § 89 (2), citing federal precedents. The injunctive relief previously granted was also deemed improper as the Personal Privacy Protection Law (Public Officers Law § 92 [1]) exempts local government units and the judiciary from its provisions.

MARTIN TORTOLEDO vs. BARRETT BUSINESS SERVICES, INC.

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration filed by Martin Tortoledo. The dismissal was based on the petitioner's failure to comply with WCAB Rule 10842(b), which requires specific citations to the record to support evidentiary statements. The WCAB emphasized that this rule mirrors appellate court requirements and that litigants cannot shift the burden of searching the record to the Board. Had the petition not been dismissed procedurally, the WCAB would have denied it on the merits as per the WCJ's report.
