RICHARD RICARDY vs. PACIFIC GAS & ELECTRIC COMPANY

The applicant, Richard Ricardy, had filed a Petition for Reconsideration of a decision issued on July 18, 2014. The petitioner, likely the applicant or their representative, has subsequently withdrawn this petition. Consequently, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board has issued an order dismissing the Petition for Reconsideration. This order effectively finalizes the July 18, 2014 decision as there is no longer an active request for review.

NORRIS M. MELLON vs. STATE OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND, CCPOA BENEFIT TRUST FUND

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) reviewed an order directing parties to bankruptcy court regarding the dischargeability of a workers' compensation lien. The lien claimant argued the WCAB had exclusive jurisdiction and the applicant waived his right to challenge the lien. After granting removal on its own motion and receiving a report from the judge, the WCAB affirmed the original order. The WCAB's decision is that the parties must address the lien's dischargeability in bankruptcy court.

FRANKLIN BARRETT (Deceased) vs. COUNTY OF SISKIYOU SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
