FELIPE TOLENTINO vs. CONCO CEMENT, CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION, XCHANGING INC., FREMONT COMPENSATION

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration as premature. The WCAB granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration regarding the temporary disability overpayment issue, deferring it for further proceedings. The Board affirmed the WCJ's findings on injury causation and permanent disability but amended the decision to clarify the overpayment issue. Finally, the WCAB issued a notice of intention to sanction defendant's counsel for attaching and citing unadmitted evidence.

FAYE JENNINGS vs. TEMECULA VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the Defendant's Petition for Reconsideration because it was untimely filed, as proof of mailing is insufficient and the petition must be received within the statutory 25-day limit. The WCAB noted that the Defendant's request to set aside the Compromise and Release was premature because it had not been decided at the trial level. Therefore, the matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings on the Petition to Set Aside.

DOLORES MOSELEY vs. NOIA RESIDENTIAL SERVICES, INC., ICW GROUP/INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE WEST

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed Dolores Moseley's petition for reconsideration. The petition was untimely as it sought reconsideration of an award made over a year prior to filing. Furthermore, the petition was unverified and lacked specificity regarding the issues and legal arguments. Finally, the orders Moseley sought to reconsider were either vacated or deemed non-final procedural decisions, rendering the petition moot.

TERRI SIEGEL vs. WALGREENS, ZURICH AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the defendant's untimely petition for removal, finding it lacked merit and was frivolous. The Board noted the petition was filed months after the subject orders, violating the 20-day filing deadline. Additionally, the defendant failed to demonstrate prejudice or irreparable harm, or that reconsideration would be inadequate. Consequently, the Board intends to impose sanctions of up to $1,000 on the defendant for filing a baseless petition.

PETER ARCARESE vs. LAW OFFICES OF MANUEL H. MILLER, STATE FARM CALIFORNIA, WC CLAIMS

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed Peter Arcarese's Petition for Reconsideration because it was not filed from a "final" order that determined substantive rights or liabilities. The petition was also dismissed as consecutive, attempting to relitigate issues previously addressed after a prior dismissal. Furthermore, the request for removal was denied as Arcarese failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. Consequently, the Board dismissed the petition for reconsideration and denied removal.

BERNARD WILLIAM PONZI vs. LOS ANGELES MISSIONARY SOCIETY, FREMONT COMPENSATION INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted the applicant's request to file a supplemental petition for reconsideration but dismissed the original petition. The original petition was untimely, unverified, and skeletal, failing to meet procedural requirements for seeking reconsideration of prior orders. As no final order has issued since September 8, 1997, the applicant was not deemed aggrieved by a final decision. The WCAB recommended the applicant contact the Information and Assistance Officer for case status inquiries.

TIM MCDONALD vs. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS, TIG SPECIALTY COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration, rescinding the original award of 73% permanent disability and attorney fees. The Board determined that the 2005 Permanent Disability Rating Schedule, not an older schedule, should be used for rating the applicant's cumulative trauma injury claim filed in 2012. The case is returned to the trial level for a new determination of permanent disability using the 2005 schedule, affirming findings on injury and medical treatment.

JESUS MORAN vs. SANTA CLARITA CONCRETE, ACE AMERICAN INSURANCE CO c/o ESIS

The Appeals Board dismissed ACE American Insurance's Petition for Reconsideration because it was not filed against a final order. However, the Board granted ACE's Petition for Removal, rescinded the order denying joinder, and returned the case to the trial level for a hearing on the joinder issue. This decision provides ACE due process to present its evidence and arguments regarding joinder, and requires notice and an opportunity to be heard for the party ACE seeks to join. The Board's decision does not prejudice the merits of the joinder petition itself.
