ROBERTA MOORE vs. CITY OF LOS ANGELES, TRISTAR RISK MANAGEMENT

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to address conflicting medical opinions from the Agreed Medical Examiner (AME) regarding the apportionment of applicant Roberta Moore's fibromyalgia disability. The AME's report initially apportioned 70% of the disability to the industrial injury, but later changed to 100% to the industrial component, citing remission of her non-industrial condition. The Board found this sudden change unexplained and is remanding the case for further clarification from the AME or a new medical examination. Additionally, the Board will allow parties to address permanent total disability findings in light of the *Fitzpatrick* decision.

ROBERTA RUST vs. PUBLIC STORAGE, AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP/CHARTIS FUSION GROUP administered by SEDGWICK CMS

The applicant, Roberta Rust, sought reconsideration of a prior WCAB decision.

The case file will be transferred to the Office of the Commissioners for further proceedings. All future communications must be directed to the San Francisco office, not the Van Nuys District Office.

Matter of Bob Bruno Excavating, Inc. v. Reardon

The petitioners, Bob Bruno Excavating, Inc., commenced a CPLR article 78 proceeding in the Appellate Division, Fourth Department, seeking to annul a determination by the Commissioner of Labor, Roberta Reardon. The Commissioner's determination found that the petitioners had underpaid their workers on several public works projects. The Appellate Division dismissed the petition, ruling that a party cannot seek review of an administrative determination made on their default. The court stated that the appropriate remedy for the petitioners is to apply to the Commissioner of Labor to reopen the administrative hearing or vacate the default.

ROBERTA FRANCINE YOUNG vs. COUNTY OF MONTEREY, LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE GROUP

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration, upholding the WCJ's denial of her petition for commutation. The WCJ found that commuting benefits to allow the applicant to purchase a home would result in a net monthly loss of income, based on projected expenses exceeding her reduced income. Applicant argued the WCJ failed to consider future income increases and the stabilization benefits of homeownership. The Board agreed with the WCJ's findings and suggested a new petition could be filed in the future, addressing cognitive disability and financial assistance resources.
