DAVID KALLABY vs. NAPA VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT, PSI, Administered By KEENAN & ASSOCIATES

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed David Kallaby's petition for reconsideration as untimely. The petition was filed on January 11, 2010, which was over 25 days after the Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) decision was served on November 10, 2009. California law strictly enforces the 20-day filing deadline for reconsideration petitions, with a limited extension for mailing. This jurisdictional deadline means the WCAB lacks the power to grant untimely petitions. Therefore, the WCAB dismissed the petition, noting that even if timely, it would have been denied on the merits based on the WCJ's report.

Marisa Kelly vs. Sacramento County Child Protective Services, PSI, County of Sacramento

Defendant sought reconsideration of a Findings of Fact, Awards and Orders (F&O) issued on February 5, 2025, which found that the applicant, Marisa Kelly, sustained a work-related psychiatric injury. The defendant contended that the medical evidence supporting this finding, specifically from the Panel Qualified Medical Examiner (PQME), was not substantial. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board, after reviewing the petition and the WCJ's report, determined that the PQME's reasoning clearly supported the causation of the applicant's temporary disability and need for medical treatment. The Board concluded that the PQME's use of 'exacerbation' instead of 'aggravation' was immaterial, and therefore, the petition for reconsideration was denied.
