TOMMIE WRIGHT vs. SUPREME COURT OF CALIFORNIA, CORVEL CORPORATION, INC.

In this workers' compensation case, the defendant petitioned for removal, arguing the trial should not proceed due to issues with the Agreed Medical Evaluator's (AME) review and deposition scheduling, as well as the applicant's failure to raise the injury AOE/COE in her declaration of readiness. The Appeals Board granted the petition, finding the applicant's omission of AOE/COE from her DOR problematic. Consequently, the Board redesignated the scheduled trial as a mandatory settlement conference to allow for further resolution, especially after the AME provided a supplemental report.

DONALD GRIEBLING vs. CITY OF ANTIOCH, Permissibly SelfInsured, Adjusted By MUNICIPAL POOLING AUTHORITY

Applicant Donald Griebling seeks to set aside a $5,000 Compromise and Release (C&R) approved by the WCJ. He alleges he was misled into believing the C&R would grant him full retirement and medical benefits, which he later learned was untrue. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration to allow applicant to prove good cause for setting aside the C&R, treating his petition as a petition to reopen. The case is returned to the trial level for the WCJ to determine if sufficient grounds exist to vacate the prior order.
