ANA DE AYALA vs. AO-THE UNIVERSITY CORPORATION / CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY NORTHRIDGE

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and reversed a prior ruling, finding the applicant sustained industrial injury to her neck. While the applicant testified to injuring her neck in a workplace incident and this was partially corroborated, the Board found insufficient evidence for other claimed injuries. The Board specifically disagreed with the administrative law judge's credibility assessment concerning the neck injury itself, relying on medical reports and testimony supporting the neck injury claim. The Board affirmed the denial of claims for all other alleged injuries, finding insufficient medical evidence to link them to the incident.

PATRICIA A. NEWTON vs. SBC PACIFIC BELL

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded a prior July 30, 2008 Joint Findings and Order because the applicant's attorney informed the Board that the case was being settled. The case is remanded to the trial level, where the WCJ will either re-issue the original decision if settlement is not finalized within 30 days, or proceed with settlement approval or other appropriate action if settlement papers are timely filed. This order allows the parties to finalize their settlement while preserving their rights.
