JESUS ESCANUELA vs. CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, legally uninsured, adjusted by STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration and dismissed the applicant's untimely petition. The WCAB found that the Agreed Medical Examiner's (AME) opinion regarding psychiatric permanent disability was not supported by substantial evidence, as it did not properly address causation under the current PDRS. Consequently, the case is remanded to the trial level for further development of the record concerning psychiatric permanent disability. The WCAB deferred the issue of permanent disability and attorney's fees pending this further development.

MATIAS PUGLISI vs. JAMES GALE KERRY, FIRST AMERICAN SPECIALTY INSURANCE COMPANY, CLA-MAR, LYNN DENNIS, PREFERRED EMPLOYERS INSURANCE COMPANY, UNINSURED EMPLOYERS BENEFITS TRUST FUND

The Appeals Board dismissed the Petition for Removal because the WCJ's determination of employment with Cla-Mar and Lynn Dennis constituted a threshold issue. Therefore, reconsideration, not removal, was the proper remedy. The Board denied the Petition for Reconsideration, adopting the WCJ's report and reasoning. The order dismisses removal and denies reconsideration in this workers' compensation case.
