BRANDEN HAMADA vs. CITY OF LOS ANGELES

This case concerns a petition for reconsideration filed by applicant Branden Hamada against the City of Los Angeles. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the petition as untimely because it was filed on September 29, 2020, after the jurisdictional deadline of September 28, 2020. Although September 28th was Yom Kippur, the WCAB offices were open, and Yom Kippur is not a legally recognized holiday that extends filing deadlines. Therefore, the Board lacked jurisdiction to consider the late petition.
